What's the oldest Sheffield Wednesday item you own ?


Recommended Posts

Got some random early programmes. But programmes and ticket stubs from the '66 cup run, plus a rosette I wore to the final that year. I have an A4 sheet of paper with all the player's and Alan Brown's autograph from 1965/66 season. I have a couple of Christmas cards that the club produced when Ozzie Owl first appeared on the scene about 1970?). I also have a writing pad with the slogan, "Go first class with the Owls" on it, from about 1970, and a cigarette box produced by Park Drive with the original SWFC badge on it, that must be forty odd years old. I have an enamel badge with the original owl on it, which must be 50 years old +, and pride of place a very old brass plaque, about 9 or 10 inches square, with the letters SWFC across the top, an owl taking up the main body of the plaque, and the word OWLS, underneath the owl, which my mum bought from an antique shop for my Christmas about forty years ago.

Just the usual stuff I guess.

really old longbow passed down through the family. one of my ancestors used it at hastings in 1066.

not official merchandise but has the old club logo on it and holds strong sentimental value

You must be from round here then, because all the soldiers who died at Battle (not Hastings, in 1066), were recruited from Wales/Kiveton Park/Harthill and surrounding areas, by King Harold on his way back down South after losing the bulk of his army, defeating the vikings at Stamford Bridge in North Yorkshire. Which is why we have a pub called The Saxon in the village.

Where do you hail from?
