Anything that doesn't fit anywhere else, but that's still CH related.

CH badges

Post by Euterpe13 »

Does anyone ( Julian ?) know what happened to the Monitresses silver brooches from Hertford ? Were they sold / recylcled / still in use ?

Have replicas ever been made / sold through the CH Club ?
I may ( indeed probably am) daft, but would love to have one to wear...

Anno Domini obviously catching up with me...

cheers

I should say so, do you want a green apron to go with it?

I could probably run one up for you.

Do you want a 'Posture' badge too?

I think you'll find that extraction of the urine is frowned upon on this site on Fridays !

Not a clue :? I bet the final year who wore them at Hetford probably kept the ones they had. They could have been given to the museum maybe :?

I remember being told in 1986 by the then Head at the end of the year prize giving that there were only a small stock of them left - and that in future they would only be given to head girls...

I have been watching ebay for one for ages.

Got my posture badge after a term, incurred the wrath of others who wanted one and felt it less hassle to tuck it away.

As far as I know there wasn't a stock, there was a finite number. We didn't keep them, they were handed back when we left and given to the next generation. So I have no idea how there could be a 'limited' stock.

On a similar subject, how many boys kept their buckles ??

I have mine in a draw upstairs which I purchased second hand at school when the time came. It's silver, yet I've NEVER bothered to check the hall mark for a date. Another little job to do on one of these chilly November evenings, perhaps.

I've still got my broadie buckle.

Re Hertford badges - I think some of them were presented... I seem to recall seeing an Ironmongers Presentees brooch (as opposed to a shield for a housey coat) being presented to someone in my house to keep when she left as the school wanted the shields as standard. Don't know about the monitoresses ones.

BTW - what would have happened if the Math's buckle had been lost. Wasn't that an antique?
