(Waikato), fob medal, 1925, handcrafted in voided gold (9ct, 6.0g, 28x23mm), no maker, scroll and ring top suspension, obverse inscribed 'Won By R.Smith/1925' reverse inscribed 'Presented By/S.A.McNamara'. Very fine.
It is understood that Ralph Smith was selected to play for the All Blacks around the time this medal was won. He turned down the offer as he believed that going 'professional' would ruin the game for him. He was also involved with many other sports including hockey.
