Description

A Robertson’s Gollympic Games limited-edition sporting badge set, presented in its original book-style display case. From an edition of 2,000 sets, this example has 1875 stamped on the photographed badge reverse, alongside the Robertson’s marking.

The colourful sporting designs are displayed against a dark fabric-lined interior, while gold-coloured lettering on the cover and spine reads The Gollympic Games. The original case brings the collection together as a nostalgic display piece.

Sets retaining their original presentation cases are now scarce, as many badges found their way onto collectors’ badge scrolls over the years. Finding the badges still together in their original book-style case adds to the appeal for collectors who enjoy the complete presentation.

Condition

The original simulated-leather case has aged with visible cracking, flaking and areas of surface loss, particularly around the edges and spine. As with many surviving examples, the covering has not stood the test of time as well as the keepsakes inside, but the original case remains part of the set’s story and adds a lovely sense of nostalgia to its presentation.

Please browse all photographs for a closer look at the badges, numbered reverse and original case, including its age-related wear, to ensure the condition meets your satisfaction.
