A challenge issued to my daughters was the cause of this purchase. Find me a badge that I don’t have for a maximum of £20. Not only did they find a Pwllheli badge that I had never seen, they found an early 50s one and for under £8 including postage. A little distressed this one was made by an unknown maker but I am pleased that the fine face detail is intact. Well done kids.

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.

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.
