This collection comprises ten metallic objects: eight uniform buttons and one brass-toned linked double medallion. The linked double medallion is identified through web intelligence as a Roman coin motif cape brooch. It features profiles reminiscent of Roman emperors on each disc, with partially legible Latin text, possibly including ‘CAESAR AUGUSTUS’ and phrases like ‘SENATVS POPVLVSQVE ROMANVS’. The medallion is made of brass-toned metal and connected by a chain. The accompanying eight uniform buttons vary in material, featuring both silver-toned and brass-toned metals. Visible markings on the silver-toned buttons include ‘AFS,’ ‘POLICE FORCE,’ ‘EXPRESS DAIRY COMPY LTD’ with a train emblem, and ‘STOCKPORT FIRE BRIGADE’ with a crest. The brass-toned buttons display various emblems, including a lion rampant and two examples of the British Royal Coat of Arms, incorporating the French mottoes ‘DIEU ET MON DROIT’ and ‘HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE’.
