An unusual vintage Goodyear employee/service award brooch in gilt sterling silver.
The circular openwork front incorporates the distinctive Goodyear winged-foot emblem within a pierced decorative design.
The reverse retains its original pin fitting and carries a full set of Birmingham silver hallmarks, including a date letter consistent with 1972.
The silver has a gilt finish, giving the brooch its warm gold-coloured appearance.
This was almost certainly produced as a company presentation or employee recognition badge, although the precise length-of-service award represented is not identified on the piece itself.
A good piece of Goodyear corporate, industrial and motoring history, as well as an attractive hallmarked silver collectible.
