Product Description
This exquisite Halcyon Days Ben Franklin enamel box is as rare as they come. It commemorates the Benjamin Franklin Award for Greatest public service performed by a private citizen.
This Halcyon Days Ben Franklin enamel box is in beautiful condition. It comes complete with outer display box and Certificate of Origin from Bilston & Battersea. The outer box may show a bit of wear from handling, as shown. This is one of the larger enamel boxes, measuring approximately 2.5 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches tall.
With the dark blue base to this piece, the marking and signatures are difficult to see in the photos, so I have included a picture of another piece (the 1973 award for greatest public service by an elected official) for your reference. The dedication shown against the red background is the same as that on the blue Benjamin Franklin piece.
Please take your time with the photos and consider them part of the description. Let me know if you have any questions and feel free to check out the many Bilston & Battersea treasures available in my shop! Sales from the WhyteWing website benefit The Trevor Project, but if you’re more comfortable making your purchase on a platform like Etsy, this rare Bicentennial box is available in my shop there as well.
