TASMANIAN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1891-2, prize medal in silver (32mm) (C.1891-2/4 but with Awarded To on reverse and variation to wreath), no maker, reverse inscribed, 'Frank Lloyd & Co/Sydney/N.S.W.'. Heavily toned, otherwise good very fine and scarce as a named award medal.
Frank Lloyd & Co received this award for Horse and Cattle Food. Following the award, it seems that some hawkers in Tasmania were approaching stock owners purporting to have food identical to that of this company. The company took out a newspaper advertisement warning stock owners in Tasmania that the 'cheap' and 'shoddy' food was not produced by them, that they had no hawkers or canvassers in Tasmania and the products could only be obtained through their accredited representative.
