Lonsdale Belt - Help please !!
Posted: 24 Feb 2003, 14:57
Hi, I am trying to solve a mystery regarding some jewels that I was given by my great aunt 20 years ago. They date back to around 1900 and came from a boxing belt. The belt was given to her mother by a gentleman she describes as being 'middle aged to elderly' on the late 1920's. He befriended her mother and left her this belt before he died. She believed it to be a Lonsdale belt but I'm not so sure it is. The belt itself was white leather with blue satin backing and I have the jewels which were removed from it for safekeeping.
I have a picture of the jewels that I am happy to show anyone that may be able to help identify what they are. If not a Lonsdale belt then it would be something from that early boxing era.
I would really like to track down what the belt is and who the original owner was - this has been a family mystery for over 70 years.
I hope someone on here can help.
Cheers
Kev
