Clacton 1946

DSCF1001 

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.

Skegness 1946 (Replica)

So often after great joy comes slight disappointment. As is the case with my delivery this morning. Now dont get me wrong, as a replica I paid a fair price but the description was so poor that I wasn’t quite sure WHAT i was getting. An eBay seller to avoid I think. DSCF1001

Anyway today's entry is a replica of the 1946 Skegness badge with a gold effect centre and a blue rim. If it was original it would be great but as a replica it really isn't that special. I will have to see what Mr Posty brings me next.
