Story
The English are a fascinating lot. For centuries individuals have grouped together in pursuit of a specific hobby or interest. Often the association created badges and medals to illustrate their club. Other times awards were given for “best of” and the like.
Here a very colorful canary bird upon a perch is the representative of the Scottish Plainhead Club of 1932. Plainhead is nomenclature for a specific type of canary.
Our distinguished avian is brightly hued in golden yellow enamel against a background of robin’s egg blue sky. Details are rendered in black enamel. The ornate pendant is of sterling silver and sports a cobalt blue enamel banner with the name of the organization.
A modified crown sits at the apex and bears a fixed “O” fitting bale. The reverse has English marks for Chester, the year 1932 and the maker’s mark “JC”.
