Miller was known for his attention to detail and finished his badges with a light varnish to prevent them from oxidation and keep them clean and bright. This Prewar Surrey design is part of a quartet which are known to exist in larger quantities than the remaining counties. In additiona to the 17 county cricketers, a further three cricketer badges in this series were manufactured, taking the total to 20. Full details are given in the Golly Guide.
