A collection of assorted metalware and commemorative items, primarily relating to competitive games and leagues. The group includes a large dominoes trophy featuring a hand holding dominoes atop a green and white striped column with scrollwork handles, mounted on a white marble base. The base is fitted with a rectangular gold-tone plaque engraved B.D.L. Div 2 Winners 1989. Included is a silver-plated cribbage board by Grenadier Silversmiths, featuring an ornate scrolled border and three tracks of peg holes. The board bears a rectangular plaque engraved GORDON GUTHRIE CAPT PRINCE ‘A’ LGE CHAMPIONS 1989 and a small circular black and silver adhesive label reading SILVER PLATED ON ZINC MADE IN ENGLAND GRENADIER. It is housed in a red fabric-lined presentation box with the interior lid printed in white reading Grenadier Silversmiths. The lot also contains a gold-tone metal twin-handled loving cup trophy on a black rectangular plinth, a small silver-tone footed cup with a textured interior, two brass bowls, a silver-tone matchbox sleeve or lighter case, and a small blue enamelled pin in a white plastic presentation box. The items are contained within a white cardboard box printed for Lancashire Crisps.
