This 1950 traditional jewellery piece comprises a pendant necklace made from solid sterling silver with a bright silver finish. The shield-shaped medal pendant is decorated in high relief with a domed football at the centre, an engraved banner at the base reading JR FISHLEY CUP, and the year 1945-6 marked near the top. It suspends from a chunky round-link belcher chain secured by a spring ring clasp. The medal measures 3 x 2.3 cm excluding the bail, and the chain measures 46 cm in length. Wearers can style this wearable vintage item as a necklace for daily personal adornment. The sterling silver links show normal light surface wear consistent with age and previous handling, while the stamped hallmarks remain clear on the metal surfaces.

FAQs

Sports fob medals became widespread during the late 19th and mid-20th centuries as commemorative awards presented to athletes in competitive leagues. Originally suspended from pocket watch chains, these silver medals frequently featured relief carvings depicting specific sports, dates, or trophy names.

Mid-20th-century sports medals were predominantly struck in sterling silver, silver-gilt, or bronze. Hallmarks or stamps indicating fineness, such as silver purity marks, were commonly applied to verify the metal content.

Authentic period pieces feature official silver hallmarks or maker marks, period-appropriate die-stamping or hand engraving, and realistic surface wear consistent with age. Stamped year dates and engraved tournament titles provide verification of historical context.

A vintage silver sports pendant can be worn independently on a silver chain for a clean look, or layered with other textured silver chains and lockets for a curated, heritage-inspired aesthetic.

Sterling silver should be cleaned gently using a dedicated microfibre silver polishing cloth to remove surface oxidation. Avoid immersing pieces with detailed engravings in harsh chemical dips, as this can strip the natural contrast and patina.
