Physical Recreation and Social Club 1947 - 1948

Another one from the left field here. An excellent badge, simple and effective. This has no makers mark.

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.

Pwllheli 1948

Not the shiniest of badges this one but a really nice design and an absolute bargain for a 1948 badge clocking in at well under a fiver. A purchase I was very pleased with indeed. Made by Reeves.

Filey 1948

It’s rather sad to get enthused about a badge I know, especially one as tatty and distressed as this one but… well… look at it and tell me that it isn’t a thing of beauty.

Issued in 1948 this badge is a work of art and one that for me defines just why i collect these things. Art, often for under a tenner. This one is Reeves of Birmingham product and is stamped as such on the rear.

As a side note. I will attempt to continue daily updates on this blog but for some reason both Live Writer AND the blogger website are being sod in different ways. Hopefully it will resolve but I don't know what is up.
