Skegness 1958
Today's offering is a Skegness 1958 pin. Its a three colour badge and is technically fine. For some reason i find it strangely unpleasing though. I don't know if it is the odd choice of green for the fish or the way it doesn't really seem to be in context with the badge i don't know but this certainly is a badge I have for completeness rather then because I like it. Maker is (deliberately?) anonymous.

Pwllheli 1958
Now here is an example of a beautifully detailed and intricate badge that only uses 3 colours. Made by Gaunt it depicts a Welsh Dragon on an orange background. All of the colours are vibrant and this is a real gem in my collection. Pin is intact and there is a small degree of tarnish on the rear but if it wasn't dated 1958 you would never guess it is over 50 years old.
