Title:
Cannock Chase 1914-15 Number Badges
Object name(s):
badge
Brief description:
A set of three metal badges or tokens in the shape of the numbers '5', '6' and '7'. They were produced for the Cannock Chase Miners Association. Association badges or tokens were sometimes sewn to the underside of a lapel to show paid members, but hide the fact from colliery owners. This style of numbered-shaped badges dates from 1913 to 1915. The badges are marked as followed: '5' - 'CANNOCK CHASE MINERS MAY 1914'; '6' - 'CANNOCK CHASE MINERS OCTOBER 1914' and '7' - 'CANNOCK CHASE MINERS MARCH 1915'.
