Item Description
Excellent quality Edwardian solid sterling silver presentation key. Hallmarked in Glasgow in 1904/1905 by James Weir.
Engraved to both sides, one side reads: "To Mrs Perry from the contractors as a souvenir of her opening the bandstand. Presented to the Burgh of Kirkintilloch by Bailie Perry 20th May 1905." The other side engraved with the Kirkintilloch coat of arms, depicting a castle.
In very good condition, some of the photographs show reflections.
Brief history of the bandstand - In 1905, the ex-Bailie, Hudson presented a new bandstand to the burgh of Kirkintilloch to be situated in Peel Park. This provided a wonderful facility for the now renamed Kirkintilloch Public Band to perform for the people of the town at fetes and celebrations, which were popular occasions and attracted crowds in their hundreds.
