Collection of 5 x 9ct Gold (32.5gm) North East of England WW1 Tribute Fob Medals

Description: Over the past couple of months I have built up a small collection of five 9ct gold WW1 Tribute Medals, all relating to the north-east of England. I am now putting the collection up for sale as it is quite unusual to find these medals offered as a group rather than individually. The medals are described as follows: MEDAL ONE: 9ct gold WW1 Tribute medal relating to the Hebburn Shipyard Ambulance Corps, the Corps being responsible for safety, fist aid & rescue at the shipyard. The front of the medal is engraved: "HEBBURN SHIPYARD AMBULANCE CORPS 1916" It is also engraved with the initials of the recipient "NB". The obverse is engraved: "PRESENTED TO NEWMAN BATTMAN" Also " .... Fellow workmen for services rendered" (first word is rubbed). Weight: 8.9 gm. Width: 27 mm. Height: 40 mm. Hall Mark: Birmingham 1915. Maker's Mark: James Walter Tiptaft.

It is rare to find these medals in a group rather than individually listed so this is a great opportunity for collectors of these medals to enhance their collection. Good luck!
