Robertson’s 1980s Golly Sailor Badge – Original Packaging
A scarce original circa‑1980s Robertson’s Golly Sailor badge, issued as part of the long‑running Robertson’s Jams & Marmalades promotional scheme. This example is the classic sailor design, complete with its impressed reverse mark: “® James Robertson & Sons Ltd”, confirming an authentic period piece.
Offered in good condition, still preserved in its original packaging — a rarity in itself.
Height approximately 31mm.
Robertson’s Golly Badges in the 1980s
By the 1980s, Robertson’s promotional badges had become a staple of British childhood collecting culture. The company issued dozens of themed designs — musicians, sports figures, sailors, guardsmen and more — each redeemed through tokens on jam and marmalade jars.
The sailor variant was one of the more distinctive uniformed characters of the decade, produced in smaller quantities than the core musician set. Surviving examples in unused packaging are increasingly scarce, making this a desirable addition for collectors seeking clean, original-condition pieces from the later enamel era.
