Button # 458 Image submitted by Dixon Pickup Back of Button # 458a ‘Firmin & Sons Ld 153 Strand London’ Description Ashley Wood Golf Club - According to the Golfing Annual for 1908 the Club was originally constituted in 1896. A nine-holes course lying just over a mile from Blandford Station. This is a flat copper gilt example (23.5mm) with a coin-like rim and displaying a fine monogram, ‘AWGC’ in stylised capitals. The back mark is of interest, ‘Firmin & Sons Ld 153 Strand London’, as the company left these premises, which they had occupied since 1783, around 1895/6. The attribution is tentative but I can trace no other ‘AW’ or ‘WA’ club for the period. Information is from an article in "The British Golf Collectors Society" written by Dixon Pickup.
