Nightingale School of Nursing St Thomas's Hospital,Cased Silver Nurses Badge(Honer)
Another beautiful silver and enamel nurses badge from the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing of St Thomas' Hospital with it's contemporary original leather presentation case.Demand for these remains high and I'm afraid the price reflects this demand and my purchase cost.
For more information on the history of the design see;http://thenightingalefellowship.org.uk/the-nightingale-badge/
The enamel on this badge is in excellent condition
The pin, and clasp are good with a safety clasp in situ. It is engraved to the rear Nightingale School Sarah J Honer 1898. As the badges were not issued until the 1920s it appears this would have been awarded retrospectively but I have been unable to trace this particular nurse.
Although not marked as such I know that these were silver.
The case is in very good condition
