Description
A Band of Hope temperance movement membership medal crafted from silver-toned white metal with enamel detailing. The central circular boss depicts a Tudor crown on a red enamel ground, surrounded by a white enamel ring inscribed with the words BAND OF HOPE. The medal features a quatrefoil design with four dark blue enamel lobes; the vertical lobes are accented with Maltese crosses, while the horizontal sides feature fleur-de-lis projections. The piece is suspended from a short section of blue ribbon with a metal bar-type pin-back mount. The item is housed in its original red presentation case, which features the printed retailer mark for John Hazelden Family Jewellers, Crediton on the interior satin lid. Based on the Tudor crown and web consensus, the piece dates to the early-to-mid 20th century, approximately 1910-1930.
Condition report:
The medal is in good overall condition, showing some light tarnishing to the metal surfaces. The enamel remains intact. The presentation case shows minor foxing to the interior satin lining and light wear to the exterior.
