Licensed Victuallers Society Collar
This is a striking collar belonging to the High Wycombe and Beaconsfield Licensed Victuallers Association (LVA). The collar features a deep blue velvet backing adorned with numerous brass plaques, each engraved with the name and year of a Chairman, spanning from the 1950s to the 1980s. A central pendant displays further detailing, and a silver enamel medal depicting the LVA crest completes the ensemble.
Condition and Collectibility
The collar shows signs of age and wear consistent with its use and history, with some minor tarnishing to the brass plaques and wear to the velvet. Despite this, it remains a visually impressive and historically significant piece, likely of interest to collectors of pub memorabilia, social history artefacts, or items relating to the licensed trade. The detailed record of Chairmen provides a fascinating glimpse into the leadership of the association over several decades.
