An odd badge this one, im not sure where it falls in the lexicon of Butlins. The writing is certainly a later style and this is backed up by the unique pin construction. I have only seen this in replicas, however this does not appear to be one. The badge is undated but is likely post-war and was made by Firmin, another first.

Clacton 1949
Another fiddle to my Clacton bow this badge accompanied a mistaken purchase of a second Clacton 1946 badge. 2 is better then none i suppose. This one has several colour variations but is particularly striking by its design. Made by Reeves and Co. This is also my first badge from 1949.

Pwllheli 1947
Another from just after the war and (I think) another bikini. This one has been worn away slightly I think but looks to be a halter style. No makers mark again on this one.

Clacton 1946
Clacton was obviously the place to bi in 1946, i don't know if there was a cloth shortage in 1946 but that swimsuit is perfectly scandalous.
This badge is intriguing to me as it shows a beachwear that i certainly would not associate with 1946 however a google names it as the year of the modern bikini!
No makers mark on this one.

Social Club 1948 - 1949
A new type of badge for me this one. This is my first Social Club badge of which there are belived to be 11. A simple square design with a green border it is simple and effective. This simple pressed badge has no makers mark.
