1930 Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Token
  Description: *Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Token, G.V.R., dated 1930, reverse officially inscribed ‘A. Waters', in original fitted case of issue by ‘Harold Stabler, 34 Upper Mall, London. W.6.', toned, practically as struck. Arthur Waters, in service at the Sandringham Estate, received his Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal in 1930, and his 30 years' service clasp in 1940. The book Royal Service Volume III, by D. Stanley, states that he exchanged his Long and Faithful Service Token for a Medal in 1930. Interesting item. I wasn't aware of this series, and there's a whole book about them. Do any of our readers collect these? -Editor To read the complete lot description, see:
