Hi there

you are my last hope

Can anyone let me know where i can get a RPHARMS tie from????

Many thanks for any help you can give me.

Used to be sent direct from the Society. I got my SOP ties, still have, from a shop in Sicilian arcarde just off Bloomsbury Square. Was nearly 60 years ago. You could also try ebay.

I have two, which are now obsolete, one in blue and the other in some kind of plum colour. They are both showing the old coat of arms.

I also have a mug with some gold plating, a leech jar, some other jar in blue glass. I got them all on some anniversary a while ago, when I still thought they acted in the profession's interest.

Was that an offer or just a boast that you have two?

Any idea where they were bought?

Many thanks

didn't even kno the society were dishing out ties....nice to see the fees being put to good use!

If they were dishing them out I wouldn't need to buy one.

Trying to source one as a belated Xmas gift.

Society items were never cheap. There was price list which guaranteed them a profit. I have a chairman's jewel, they also had plaques with the coat of arms on them. When branch secretary, I believe I bought a transparency of the coat of arms. In the end I scanned it into the computer and printed on posters and attendance certificates.

think i need to be saving my money for fees, rather than splashing it out on ties or coats of arms....but give it a few decades and when i'm older, i'll probably be looking around for a tie lol

I bought them from the society-that-was in 1991, for the 150th anniversary. They were replicas of items from the museum, I recall (except the ties lol).
