The medal features a finely detailed rearing lion in gold against a deep blue enamel ground to the front, set within an ornate gold mount typical of the early 20th century. The reverse is crisply engraved with the original award inscription:
“MUSSELBURGH CUP WON BY NEWTONGRANGE STAR 1906 R. REID”
The suspender is stamped “DUNCAN EDINB”, identifying the respected Edinburgh maker Duncan of Edinburgh, and the piece is further marked 9CT confirming gold content.
This medal would have originally been worn on a gentleman’s watch chain and represents a fine example of Scottish sporting history, likely associated with racing or local competition in Musselburgh. A desirable collector’s piece combining solid gold, enamel work, and clear provenance.
