I saw this recently in an antique fair. It has little to do with the Lancashire Watch Company, other than a) both were around at the time and b) there are articles in the book which remind us that though the suffragette movement was at its most prominent in the early 1900s, there were lots of activities across the world fighting the cause from the mid 1800s.
I liked it and thought it would look good on my website. It also felt appropriate for the section on Emily Faithfull.
The badge measures 14 cm high, 10.5 cm at its widest point and is 3 mm thick. It would have been attached to a badge bar and, as it was unlikely then to have been a female driver, it must have been a sympathetic (to the cause) male driver. Probably brass and circa 1905.
