This is page 2 of our Memory Lane feature where you will find lots more exhibits from
the early days of the marquetry movement and the formation of our Society.
To start this second page off, we have a special treat for you. It's a small Marquetry Society
publicity leaflet and enrolement form from 1954 - the year after the Society was formed.
Note the rather small size of the enrolement section. The leaflet itself is only 41/2" or
approx 11.5cms long - so you can judge how small it is.
Lower down the page you will find the Marquetry Society gold lapel badge.
A beautiful item in its own right, but now sadly unavailable.

Hands up those who remember these gold lapel badges.
These badges were a "good seller" a few decades ago,
but, alas they are no longer available.
The example we have here is still in superb condition
and the brilliant shine almost made it impossible to
achieve a good macro photo without light bounce back.
However, after several attempts we managed to achieve
the above photo (phew!!)

Those of you who have attended the legendary shows and demonstrations where our
most respected USA representative Joe Monks has been in attendance, may well
remember Joe's most distinctive marquetry themed waist coat.
Joe's use of two lapel badges to make a marquetry style fob watch chain
is a superb example of Joe's expertise in adaptation.
Excellent work Joe!
