Description
An original circa‑1980s Robertson’s Cricketer badge, issued through the long‑running Robertson’s Jams & Marmalades promotional token scheme. This example features the classic Cricketer design, complete with bat and cap, and carries the correct impressed reverse mark: “® James Robertson & Sons Ltd”, confirming an authentic period production.
The badge is in good vintage condition, showing only light age‑related wear typical of 1980s enamel pieces, and remains a strong example of this popular sporting variant.
Sporting Badges in the 1980s Range
Robertson’s expanded their enamel badge themes during the 1980s to include a variety of sporting characters, reflecting the decade’s enthusiasm for televised sports and hobby collecting. The Cricketer was one of the more recognisable designs, appealing to collectors across the UK due to cricket’s long‑standing cultural presence.
Produced in moderate quantities but heavily redeemed at the time, clean examples have become increasingly desirable for collectors completing the sporting subset of the 1980s range.
