Description
A bright and cheerful vintage charity badge from the Kent Hop Cops series, still attached to its original printed card. This design features the hop‑character in a green uniform with matching hat — a clean, classic look within the set and one of the more straightforward “officer‑style” variants.
Produced as part of a local fundraising initiative, each badge in the series supported Kent‑based charities and was sold as one of several designs to collect.
The original card accompanies the pin, complete with the familiar fundraising wording and confirmation that it is “one in a series to collect”. A charming piece of regional nostalgia, ideal for collectors of British charity pins, hop‑themed items, or Kent heritage memorabilia.
Uniform Variants in the Hop Cops Series
The Kent Hop Cops range reflects the creativity of small community fundraising projects that flourished across the UK from the 1980s onward. These badges were typically produced in modest quantities and sold at fairs, fêtes, and charity stalls, often featuring mascots tied to local culture.
Kent’s hop‑growing heritage inspired this colourful cast of hop‑characters, with uniformed variants like this one offering a more traditional “police” look within the set. Examples that remain on their original cards offer both provenance and display appeal, making them increasingly collectible today.
