Hello folks, time for your guesstimates for the St Thomas' badge - £52.99 tonight. We haven't seen one for a while. I think £260.
Hi.
Being broke, I will guestimate £235!! Please don't ask for the cash....
Will.
Surely there must be a limit to even these and considering the damage I'll say £175.
I always guess wrong, say £200
am going to say £325
Final result - £221. I guess my award goes to Will!!
Magpie,
a confession - I cheated! I didn't know the answer so I gave the our dog a couple of bones and then counted the remaining bits! I had no problems multi-tasking (!!) as our dog is a female called 'Indy'....
Will.
Ps. With sincere apologies Rosemary, I just couldn't resist the 'multi-tasking'... As a penance I will eat the remaining bits - if I can persuade Indy to hand them over....
Will - do you want your prize in Bonios then? If your dog is like mine you won't have a chance of getting anything toy or food back.
Thanks everyone for taking part in a little bit of fun
Tell me on the subject of (what I consider) overpriced nurses/hospital badges, what's one view as to regards the early North Staffs badge{I think mine cost £2}.
If this is the Blue enamel pendant badge,with slight enamel loss to the bar,this has been kicking around on Ebay for a while(along with the Perth).Both ,I believe are overpriced,as is probably reinforced by the fact that neither has sold.Ultimately a badge is only worth what an individual is prepared to pay and I am probably in the minority in thinking that many of the recent London Hospital badges and the St Thomas's Nightingale fetched far in excess of what their value based upon scarcity.I must admit to replacing the Tommies badge in my collection recently but only because I was able to get it reasonably.I would rather pay higher for a badge that is meaningful to me or truly rare or desirable than pay over the odds for badges that may well surface again in time.
What are the badges which would get you reaching into your pockets then Barry? I'm sure there must be that elusive item somewhere out there, who knows you may even have go above a Fiver!
There are a few Cheshire Hospital badges that I would like and some Hospital badges relating to the Navy also I still collect any medical insignia that I don't have to W.W.1 and items relating to Operating Theatres, a R.A.F. Nurses belt buckle would be nice.
I'm also open to offers for most of the items in my collection except, Military/Overseas/Cheshire/Op. Th's,/Irish, if anyboby has any to these fields and think that I may be able to assist them I'd be open to offers preferably swopping. I also collect all medically related buttons.
