Description
An original circa‑1980s Robertson’s Car Driver Golly badge, issued through the long‑running Robertson’s Jams & Marmalades promotional token scheme. This example features the classic Car Driver design, complete with the correct impressed reverse mark: “® James Robertson & Sons Ltd”, confirming an authentic period production.
The badge shows some surface wear, consistent with age and handling, but remains a solid and presentable example of this popular 1980s character variant.
The Car Driver in the 1980s Golly Range
The Car Driver Golly was one of the more playful character designs introduced during the 1980s, reflecting Robertson’s shift toward broader, more colourful themes beyond the long‑established musician series. Produced in moderate quantities but heavily collected at the time, many surviving examples show signs of use, making cleaner pieces increasingly desirable.
Even with light wear, the Car Driver remains a staple for collectors aiming to complete the full run of 1980s character badges.
Height approximately 18mm
