£2,500.00
A distinguished piece of British industrial heritage, this sterling silver ringing bell was presented to F Wolstencroft, President of the British Trade Union Congress, during the historic Blackpool conference in September 1942. Hallmarked Sheffield 1941 and crafted by Frank Cobb & Co Ltd, the bell features intricate inscriptions and crests that commemorate this significant moment in trade union history. The bell produces a clear, resonant ring when moved, making it both a functional and decorative piece. The detailed engravings would benefit from a gentle clean to fully reveal the craftsmanship and historical inscriptions. A wonderful addition to any collection of vintage British silver or Labour movement memorabilia, this piece combines authentic period character with genuine historical significance.
