Don't blame me, 'twas McScotty who said he'd like to see some more of my badges. I didn't bother photographing them, I merely placed them on my scanner screen and did it that way. As I previously said, I don't wear badges, but I somehow find myself drawn to them and have collected quite a number of them over the years. Most seen here are relatively recent 'retroactive' badges featuring old TV shows, only about 4 or 5 of them being original badges from way back when. (And yes, that is a genuine Blue Peter Badge, one of two I own, not a replica.)
Like to see more? Then let me know, Crivvies.
I had none of these but I love the wee Golden Wonder crisps man badge .
ReplyDeleteYeah, a slice of the '60s, McS, takes me right back to when the salt for crisps came in a wee blue bag. That's an original badge, by the way, not a 'repro'.
DeleteThe noughts & crosses girl wouldn't mean anything to today's youth but she's a legend to us oldies.
ReplyDeleteKid, October 6th is the 50th anniversary of Captain Britain No.1 if you're looking for something to write about.
And September the 30th is the 54th anniversary of MWOM #1, CJ, so there's another one to write about. (Or repeat an old post.)
DeleteKid, the sidebar on your blog takes several minutes to download for some reason - the rest of the blog downloads instantly but not the sidebar.
ReplyDeleteI know, CJ. It should download almost immediately, but occasionally (for prolonged runs), it takes around 25 seconds. Usually, it clears up by itself, but the problem might be to do with recent updates, I'm just not sure.
DeleteThat's 25 seconds at my end. It may vary on other sources.
DeleteI bid for that oor wullie badge on ebay a few weeks ago but lost out to a higher bidder. Bah! I'd never seen it before.
ReplyDeleteIf you were bidding at Phils Comics, AL, then it was me who outbid you. Guess that's me off the Christmas card list, eh?
DeleteYes it was philcomics. Perhaps I should have bid more than 15p
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember what it cost me now, AL, but not very much.
