Ruth The closest I can get is that your medal is a Silver Medal Fob - and you can see one very like it (also dated 1907) on the following site. https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/195546382/vintage-sterling-silver-medal-watc h-fob?ref=market You don't say how you obtained the medal and if this would give any clues as to its provenance? Herbert Bushell and Son Limited were still in operation as Medallists in 1931 (Kelly's Directory) at 32 Nothampton Street, Birmingham. I wonder how long they remained in business and whether there are any company records. It is likely that they did a run of medals for MAGC over a period of ?? years. Another option for the initial M is Midland(s) ?? Leonie Fretwell Burra SA [email protected]
