Two 19th century 'Billies and Charlies' Pilgrim badges, 'cock metal', and lead copper alloy, 10.5cm and 8cm diameter. (Two London labourers, Billie Smith and Charlie Eaton, used to 'mudrake' along the Thames, to supplement their low incomes. One of their only major successes was to find a medieval medallion which they sold to a collector for a princely sum. Failing to find any others, they started making fakes based on medallions, and Pilgrims badges!). Est. 80/120
