Gone to the Dogs?

Just for a change I’m putting in an example of the non-numismatic things that so often turn up in boxes & tins.

This is a recent favourite, simply because of the strong design, and the quality of finish of the items.

The square Great Dane Club medallion is Birmingham silver from 1946-1947 and inscribed ‘Dawn’ on the back, which may be the owner’s name or the dog’s. Or both?

The Club was formed in 1883 and is still up and running.

As for the dog badges, all of which appear to be base metals, I assume they are show awards of some sort? Two appear to depict Great Danes, whilst the others are different breeds of ‘our best friend’.

Great things, which I hope I can find a good and appropriate home for in due course.
