He found these watch fobs in a charity shop in Leicester and gave them to me ( Good lad )
Can someone throw some light on them, they are both Sterling Silver.
 
Here is a photo of my wife's grandfather with the Ripingilles football team 1926/7.

My father worked at Linread in the 1940's and played in their football team.
They won a shield in the 1945/46 season (I don't know what that was unfortunately).
Here is a group photo of the team, my father is in the front row, third from the left...
