A silver Palmer Football Club medallion 'presented by E. Solomon to T. Reid, Season 1891'
An engraved silver medallion (40 mm in diameter, with a large decorative suspension scroll attached to the top; 32.44 gm but not hallmarked), with the club monogram engraved on the obverse, surrounded by a laurel wreath, and the presentation details engraved on the reverse.
Silver a little tarnished; mild signs of handling; in very good condition.
Palmer (about 70 kms east of Adelaide, and about 15 kms from Mannum), apparently no longer fields a football team. In 2001, 'Palmer had a population of 305 people living in 124 dwellings. By the 2016 census, the population had dropped to only 202 people in 93 dwellings' (Wikipedia). Presumably that trend continues ... Specific details about E. Solomon and T. Reid are not known, but the Solomon name has been prominent in South Australian mercantile, civic and political life over many generations.
