J. Danks & Son / Limited / Melbourne. No makers marks. (Victoria) Metalware Brass makers badge. 152 mm wide. 1900s
Good. John Danks was not thinking clearly when he designed this badge. The embossed print near the central bolt holes would have went to the edge of the hole, which then makes it impossible for a bolt to sit flush and secure the badge in place. Therefore, the letters were ground back in this area at the top and bottom to allow for any bolts to sit flush. Bottom left corner has a chunk from it, looks like it was made this way? Some knocks and marks. Grimy to the rear. Ledge at rear has space for three grub screws, one of these is missing. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
