Portrayer Reproductions, .
Replica Rectangular Votes for Women Suffragette Badge:
(Portrayer Publishers, 2018).
Rectangular, and measuring 3.5cm by 3cm, this badge is one of the larger and heavier ones in our collection. It's presented with a complimentary purple velvet pouch in an attractive silver-backed gift bag, and makes the perfect gift. (Particularly for any woman with a mind of her own!) The original badge from the suffragette era was glass-faced and contained woven fabric in the three suffragette colours. Therefore, the reproduction here has been created in transparent metallic enamels to give the idea of glass, and it also displays a downward gold-plated 'striping' to give the woven effect. The badge is secured at the back with two rubber butterfly-clutches. Badge. Brand new, fine. pp. Order No. NSBK-C15568
Keywords: B07KFHH5LY, badge, Christmas gifts, jewellery, jewelry, woman suffrage, button badge, pin backs, pinback, suffragette era, suffragettes, women, women's history, woman, woman's history, history, social history, Britain, British history, England, English history, WSPU, Women's Social and Political Union, enamel badges, suffragette jewellery, suffragette jewelry, Edwardian, brooch, brooches, Portrayer Publishers, suffragette ephemera, pins
