: G1849

: Numismatics

: badge

: Colston School large bronze badge. 8 small holes in pairs for attachment. A paper label on the back states "635 Dolphin Badge Purchased 26-1-04". (Colston's crest was a dolphin, supposedly because on a voyage one of his ships sprang a leak and a dolphin wedged itself into the hole, so saving the ship, it's crew and cargo.)

: Bowles Collection

: Bequest of Harold Bolles Bowles, 1909
