Kyra inspired me to dig out an interesting stickpin.
This double-sided stickpin shows Persimmon (raced 1895-1897), a thoroughbred racehorse owned by Edward, Prince of Wales) on one side and a fox head on the other.
The mount assembly and housing is constructed as an early racing spur, pegged in the center to allow for full swivel movement. 9K gold with original box marked Wilson & Gill The Goldsmiths 139 Regent Street London W.
How interesting is this pin!!!
We may expect it is Prince of Wales related, perhaps a gift to the trainer of Persimmon, who knows...
Marvelous you have another piece with royal connections to go alongside those amazing royal opera box tokens, your collection is dazzling!
Thank you, everyone! So many great collections and interesting information being shared! I have a few other pieces connected to the royals, in a variety of items. Maybe an acrostic Caroline of Brunswick ring next?
