Summary
Alternative Name(s): Tab
Small, metal, crown-shaped tag found inside a Princess Mary's Christmas Gift tin. The tag is similar to the type of tag or tab found on a badge of the Returned Sailors' Soldiers' & Airmen's Imperial League of Australia or RSSILA (refer to object HT 21024). It appears that badges may have been made in bulk and the appropriate year of membership was added on top using the tag. In this case, '61' apparently refers to 1961.
Physical Description
Crown-shaped piece of metal with three claws.
