Penny Policy

We found this Insurance Policy and if you look closely you will see that it is for a vast sum of money! If she died before age 3 my Grandparents would get £6 which in 1924 probably was quite a lot of money. Over age 6 it is for £15. I have put in a claim and am wondering how much it will be. They had to pay one penny per week. This of course was 1d not 1p so in a year they paid roughly 22p in today's money.
Some years ago Mum got a letter telling her to consider the policy paid in full. It obviously was not profitable to send the man from the Pru to collect the money.
Another lovely day here on the Black Isle and another beautiful sunset.
