6 months ago on this feed u/MizzBeaten asked if anyone knew the significance of a 1978 Sterling Silver Cricket Bat pendant. I've been through the archived thread of that post and did not see a knowing response so I'm posting here with what I know. Dennis Lillee certainly had a role of some sort, as he is seen wearing the same (or at least something similar from the promotional campaign) in https://au.pinterest.com/pin/188517934381825202/. My pendant has STG.SIL, ©1978, MEJA and a symbol like a capital A, which is also seen on MizzBeaten's pendant. See her post at: https://www.reddit.com/r/Cricket/comments/1g1vvtq/does_anyone_know_what_this_is/ That's all I can offer. I note our two pendants are different in some respects with slightly different molding and inscriptions, but both seem related to the WSC promotions occuring at that time. https://preview.redd.it/4d225s1ecoue1.png?width=523&format=png&auto=webp&s=4cf43495746924727732ca4d65abef8167fda53b submitted by /u/DenisonRoad |
