A collection of fraternal regalia and personal effects primarily associated with the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes (RAOB), Gorseinon Lodge No. 44, United Kingdom, dating from the mid-20th century. The lot comprises:

One gold-toned jewel bears a block-letter mark reading SILVER.
A 19th-century mahogany writing slope of rectangular form with brass corner reinforcements and a central brass cartouche. The interior features a hinged writing surface and partitioned compartments.
An Accurist 21 Jewels Shockmaster wristwatch, Swiss made, with a gold-plated circular case, champagne dial, and date aperture at 3 o'clock. The dial is marked Swiss Made.
A group of St. John Ambulance and military-style badges, including a long-service medal for the Priory for Wales with bars for 1936, 1937, and 1938. Other badges include a Royal Engineers cap badge with a crown and cypher within a laurel wreath, a Salvation Army 1865-1965 Centenary badge, and a National Coal Board Mines Rescue Service enamel pin.
An assortment of personal items including three ballpoint pens, a St. Christopher enamel pendant, a West Glamorgan Fuchsia & Pelargonium Society badge, various British and international coins, a leather Grandma keychain, and a British Telecom International Direct Dialling promotional card.
More Information
The mahogany writing slope shows significant structural wear, including a detached internal writing surface and missing interior dividers (photo 13).

The RAOB sash shows light fraying to the gold brocade edges (photo 9). Enamel badges generally show light surface wear and minor oxidation to the metal reverses, particularly evident on the Royal Engineers badge (photo 2). The leather keychain shows heavy surface abrasion and loss of finish (photo 12).
