There is something wonderfully evocative about old sporting medals like this, little survivors of forgotten triumphs and long vanished summer afternoons. One can almost picture the sound of leather on willow, the cheers from the boundary line, and the proud young cricketer returning home with this freshly won medal tucked carefully into his pocket. More than a century later, it still carries that same quiet pride. The front is richly detailed with crossed cricket bats, an enameled heraldic shield in vivid red and cobalt blue, and the words “Lancashire Junior Cricket League” surrounding the scene like a banner of honor. The tiny rose gold details glow warmly against the silver, giving the piece a distinctly Edwardian richness and depth.
Handcrafted in England in 1901, this Edwardian silver and enamel cricket fob medal measures 40.8 millimeters north to south including the bale, 27.3 millimeters across, and 3.6 millimeters thick, weighing 15.9 grams. The reverse is engraved “Winners, Enfield C.C., T. Cottam.” Hallmarked with the lion passant and date letter “b” for 1901, along with "Fattorini," "Bradford," and "F&S." The medal features beautifully preserved enamel work, rose gold accents, and finely engraved details. It may be worn as a fob medal, watch fob, or pendant.
Pieces like this occupy that wonderful place between jewelry and history. It is not merely decorative, though it wears beautifully as a pendant. It is a tangible fragment of Edwardian sporting history, local pride, cricket tradition, camaraderie, and personal achievement. The sort of object that makes people lean in closer and ask, “I wonder who he was?”
