Something treasured

These are Granny Amy's medals.   She was my paternal grandmother, born Amy O'Toole.   She was a fine pianist and these were handed down to me.   I am sure she would have won more than three in her lifetime.   The bottom right was won in an eisteddfod in 1915.  The one on the left has British College of Music London engraved and the top one I believe was from her music school.  I believe she used to make pianola rolls but I need to check up on that.  Sadly she died when I was only about 6 or 7.  My father and grandfather adored her.
