In the form of a cow bell, of extraordinary weight, one side applied with a fish between the dates 1918 and 1926 and the word SITH, the other side engraved "Stanley Baldwin".
Stanley Baldwin was three times Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. However, the significance of the dates and the iconography is a mystery. "SITH" may be an acronym for "Seat in the House" [of Parliamant]; or it may refer to a fairy of Gaelic lore; or perhaps something else entirely.
