Notes
We are honoured to bring to the market-place this exceptional item.
An impressive presentation cylindrical container in Royal Blue with silver print ‘THE QUEEN’S AWARD TO INDUSTRY ’ with Royal Crest. Item is 35.5 cms. tall. Very close to mint condition. Inside the cylindrical container are two Queen’s Award To Industry Scrolls :
a) Marks the period from 1967 – 1972. It is a formal presentation document with Her Majesty’s signature and also signed by the Prime Minister of the day Harold Wilson.
Light mottling and note the small tear and tiny section missing at one edge.
b) Marks the period from 1969-74. A formal presentation document (heavier gauge paper than the example above, and a little wider) with Her Majesty’s signature and also signed by the Prime Minister of the day Harold Wilson.
Original buff lift-off lid box for the cylindrical container includes a protective corrugated liner. Light surface scuff and penned details in one top corner of the lid.
