The Robertson's 1970s enamel Golly badges marked one of the most colourful periods in the long‑running promotional series. This decade introduced the familiar yellow waistcoat and a lively set of Golly characters that reflected the hobbies, sports and fashions of the time. Produced in bright, durable enamel with clean metal outlines, these Golly badges became a favourite among young collectors and remain a nostalgic part of many childhood memories today.
This Robertson's collection brings together the full spread of 1970s designs, including the Bagpiper, Cricketer, Footballer, Golfer, Guitarist, Hockey Player, Lollipopman, Motorcyclist, Scout, Skater, Skateboarder, Standard Golly and Tennis Player. Each Golly badge captures a moment of 70s culture in miniature — from the rise of skateboarding to the decade’s love of sport, music and characterful design.
Whether you’re rebuilding a childhood Golly badge set or exploring the history of British promotional collecting, these Robertson's badges offer a bright, characterful snapshot of the era.
