A Victorian silver salver of Tottenham Hotspur related interest, the centre engraved with a band of foliate scrolls within a piecrust rim with cast scallop shells and scrolls, on three foliate flanked scallop shell scroll feet, London 1874 by Goldsmiths Alliance Ltd (Samuel Smily), the underside with engraved presentation inscription 'Robert Buckle in recognition of 64 years faithful service to the late S.W. Pedley & his family...', weight 874.8g, diameter 31.1cm. Note: Robert (Bobby) Buckle (1865-1959) was a key player in the foundation of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Bobby was a local lad who attended Tottenham Grammer School. It was with a group of friends under a lamp post on Tottenham High Road, that Spurs were founded. On becoming a founding member, he was also elected as the first ever captain, featured in the club's first known line-up and was the scorer of Tottenham's first recorded goal on 20th October 1883. He served on the committee from 1884, was honorary secretary and treasurer in 1890 and was elected to the first board of directors in 1898. The Pedley family played a significant role in the Buckle family's life, and without it the emergence of the team and club may never have happened.
