Robertson Golly Badges Collection
This lot comprises eleven Robertson’s golly badges, each displaying a unique design and character. These enamel badges were originally issued as promotional items by Robertson & Sons, famed for their ‘Golly’ character advertising campaigns. The badges showcase a variety of scenes and activities, reflecting the playful and nostalgic imagery associated with the brand. They represent a charming piece of British advertising history and are highly sought after by collectors of ephemera and vintage memorabilia.
Condition and Collectability
The condition of the badges varies, with some exhibiting signs of age and wear consistent with their vintage. Minor enamel loss and surface scratches are present on some examples, but overall, they present well for their age. These original Robertson’s golly badges are a delightful addition to any collection of British advertising memorabilia, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of marketing and popular culture. Their rarity and nostalgic appeal make them particularly desirable to collectors.
