Hi all.
As someone who has collected toys, I came across this toy collector's association badge which I believe dates to the 1980's and was issued as a membership badge by the 'Hull & East Riding Vintage Toy Collectors Association'. The club appears to be defunct and found nothing about them on Google search.
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has information on this club such as the year it was established, year it closed and any other information too.
As far as enamel badges go, this is an unusually large one measuring 1.5" in diameter (38mm). It is made of chrome plated brass with two enamels, a pin fitting on the back but no maker's imprint.
In all my years of collecting badge, this is the only specimen I've come across and presumably must be a rare badge?
Kind regards.
Stuart Williams.
I'm a toy collector too. I wonder if old copies of Toy Shop are worth anything.
