1957 Vintage 9ct Gold Football Charm
A Piece of British Football History
Football has long been woven into Britain's cultural identity, and this beautifully crafted vintage charm captures that enduring passion in miniature. Produced during the 1950s, the design reflects the classic stitched leather footballs familiar to generations of players and supporters before England's historic World Cup triumph in 1966.
Whether chosen by a lifelong football fan, a collector of vintage gold charms or someone searching for an unusual gift, this delightful pendant offers far more than its precious metal value. It represents a small piece of sporting history that can be worn and enjoyed every day.
Hallmarked at the Chester Assay Office
One of the charm's most appealing features is its Chester hallmark. Founded in the fourteenth century, the Chester Assay Office was one of Britain's oldest hallmarking institutions before closing permanently in 1962. Jewellery carrying Chester hallmarks has become increasingly desirable among collectors due to its relatively short surviving production period.
This example is dated 1957 and bears the W.H.C maker's mark together with the 375 gold stamp, confirming its manufacture in solid 9ct yellow gold. Its excellent condition and professional refurbishment ensure it is ready to wear or present as a thoughtful gift.
As with every item in our pre-loved jewellery collection, this football charm is completely unique. Once sold, it cannot be replaced.
