I have a First Class, Silver medallion issued by the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society dated 1839 on the Medallion. The outside band holding the glass pieces on is engraved as follows:
To Mr. Wm Hughes, Master Pilot, for rescuing Crew of Sloop Elizabeth, in a heavy gale, off Ormshead 13th Oct 1849. Its in the original case and appears to have had the glass replaced on the dated side.
I have a letter from the Secretary of the Society, a Mrs. Christine Collins, along with a photocopy of the minutes where the award was noted.
Anyone know what its worth?
