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.
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. 
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.
