Hi..I am looking for detailed background info. re the two lamp badges, one bronze/brass, one silver (Hall Marked for 1926. I understand that the badges were given, or bought, in recognition for support. What was their purpose and why the silver one? Was there a gold one? I would be grateful for any info that can be shared...cheers...Dave.
