Unknown Scottish badge S.U of D.L. ?

[WRANGEL]

Good evening Gentlemen,

I hope I am in the right section. I am trying to identify this lapel hole badge. It is numbered 868 and has the letter G on reverse. Maker's mark is "SMITH & WRIGHT LTD BIRMINGHAM" on reverse.

Does anyone of you know what this badge was for ?

Yours sincerely

Bill

It is a members lapel badge for the Scottish Union of Dock Labourers a Glasgow based organisation which existed from the Glasgow Dock strike of June-July 1911 until it was amalgamated with the transport and General Workers union in 1922. Nice and probably quite a scarce survival.
