I have recently been looking at The Midland Brewery having a Brass Band and wondered if anyone has any information about it. It was in the 1890's and was attached to Sir John Holder's brewery in Birmingham. Many thanks if anyone has anything.

Hi Jason, I have a very large collection of memorabilia that I will finally leave to one of the Holder family. Have never seen this particular badge/motif/emblem before. Many thanks for posting it, Lynn Stratton.
