Cambridge University Rowing Rudder.
An original presentation trophy rudder 'Lady Margaret 2nd Lent Boat' with gold calligraphy and college insignia. This is the former property of H.M. Stewart who was the cox. The college crest is of St John's College, Cambridge, England and The Lady Margaret Boat Club is the rowing club for its members. We also have a second rudder of Stewart's that would make a great companion to this one. On the rear is a paper trade label "T.H. Bamford, sign-writing, decorative painting, 7 Chesterfield Road, Cambridge".
The calligraphy on the rudder reads:
