Description
An original circa‑1980s Robertson’s Golly Astronaut badge, issued during the later period of the marmalade and jam promotional scheme. This striking design features the space‑suit clad Astronaut, one of the most imaginative and visually distinctive characters in the entire 1980s range.
The reverse carries the standard “® James Robertson & Sons Ltd” impressed mark used throughout the decade, confirming an authentic period production.
The badge is in good vintage condition, showing light age‑related wear but retaining strong colour, crisp detailing and the bold, playful look that makes the Astronaut one of the standout 1980s variants.
The Astronaut in the 1980s Character Series
The Astronaut design reflects the era’s fascination with space exploration and science‑fiction, themes that were hugely popular in British culture throughout the 1980s. Robertson’s broadened their badge themes during this decade to include more imaginative and modern characters, and the Astronaut quickly became a favourite among younger collectors.
Although not the rarest of the decade, it remains a highly desirable character badge, especially for collectors assembling the full 1980s novelty and profession‑themed subset.
