A Mixed Tray of Collectable Pin Badges
This lot comprises a wooden tray containing a large quantity of assorted pin badges. The designs span commercial advertising, including examples bearing the names Pernod, PG Tips, Thomson and BMG, alongside slogan and novelty examples such as one reading “Safety Hazard” and another reading “Quality Motoring for Everyone”. Sizes, colours and graphic styles vary considerably, with a mix of printed illustrations, cartoon figures, lettering and logos. Several badges carry personal or event-style messages, including birthday and celebration themes, and a number of pieces feature the National Rifle Association name.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The badges show varying degrees of wear, with some surfaces scuffed, marked or discoloured and a number of pin fixings visibly loose or absent. Many examples retain their original pin backs and printed fronts, though the originality of each individual piece cannot be guaranteed. Offered as a single mixed lot, the tray will appeal to collectors of advertising ephemera and promotional badges, as well as those seeking a varied group for thematic display or research into past brand and slogan campaigns.
