Enamels: 3 (blue, black & white).

Finish: Gilt.

Material: Brass.

Fixer: Pin.

Size: 1” in diameter (about 25mm).

Process: Die stamped.

Maker: No maker's name or mark. However, this badge is hand stamped with the lettering BCM/HINDS which stands for Birthday Club Member and presumably the member's surname. I have seen one other badge of this type with the maker's name of Thomas Fattorini Ltd.

Thank you for reading.
