Wow. Two players called Taylor in the Wakefield team, but the engraving definitely looks like a "J". Going down a rabbit hole now - I think the medal was this chaps... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Ta ... gby_league) 217 games for Trinity. Wish I had £1000 going spare!

Great memorabilia but not for £1,000

It's a shame it looks so battered. I know it's a 114 years old, but it's the kind of thing you'd expect would have been placed in a drawer and be in near perfect nick. It looks like he wore it every day! Great memorabilia though.

I mentioned it to Mrs McBatt. The look I got suggested I shouldn't even consider it. In the words of Duncan Bannatyne, "I'm oot"
