Blackpool 1955 (replica)

Doubly disappointing this one and i am kicking myself for not noticing. Not listed as a replica i though i was bidding on a genuine vintage badge. I noticed that it was a replica after winning it. As the price was still low I still paid. Then the postage was underpaid (admittedly Royal Mails pricing is as opaque as the Trains).

Overall it is a nice replica… just not what I bid on.

Ayr 1962

Very simple this one and not in great condition, its a plain rectangular badge with a blue background depicting thistles and a sword. The pin is bent so trapped closed.

Made by Gaunt of London.
