Scarce 1920's Bristol Aeroplane Company Ltd. #'d Worker Badge by JR Gaunt

Scarce 1920's Bristol Aeroplane Company Ltd. numbered worker badge by JR Gaunt. The round, nickel-plated brass badge shows the entwined letters: "B A Co. LTD." in raised detail and the reverse shows the number: "7122" and the bottom features a maker's mark that reads: "JR GAUNT LONDON". The Bristol Aeroplane Co. faced both failures and successes in aircraft manufacturing, a great success was the F.2B Bristol Fighter. The aircraft was a top aircraft of the First World War and in the 1920's, it became a mainstay of the Royal Air Force and remained in service until the early 1930's.
