Description
A genuine scarce 1950s Guinness Harp enamel lapel badge, produced by H.W. Miller Ltd., Birmingham B18, one of the most respected mid‑century British badge makers. This early 22mm high Guinness piece features the classic Irish harp emblem in gold‑tone metal with rich blue enamel — a clean, elegant design typical of Miller’s post‑war craftsmanship.
The reverse carries the correct H.W. MILLER LTD B’HAM 18 backstamp, confirming it as an authentic mid‑century brewery promotional badge. These early Harp pieces are far scarcer than later Guinness advertising pins and are prized for their quality, weight, and pre‑standardisation branding.
