Marks on medal for gymnastics

[Roger in Sussex]

I have a medal which my father won in a gym contest in 1912. I say medal, but it is actually of the sort intended for attachment to a watch chain such as were worn then. (Is there a proper term for such items?)

On the back is this set of marks, which I don't think are silver marks, but I wonder if anyone can please give me any information as to any meaning they may have. Presumably the initials are those of the maker?

Hi Roger
I'm no expert but after a bit of searching the middle mark maybe city mark for Chester - Three wheatsheaves with sword.

The only ref I could find to the initials was TJS -
Thomas James Skelton 1909..1936, 1961
(registered Mar 1909)
Cigarette case, fob medal, napkin ring, spoon
Vyse Street, Birmingham
After 1948 company run by Percy John Skelton & Elivia Millicent Dodge

Dont know if that helps but had fun looking!

Hi Lilun

Thanks very much for your reply. Sounds extremely likely that it was made by Thomas James Skelton - and fob medal is probably the name for it, as well, which I didn't know. Not sure where Chester comes in, but its an interesting lead.

Very helpful indeed, and I'm pleased you had fun  looking

regards
