Title: Bring on the Band! Post by: Neil on December 21, 2009, 09:26:02 PM My little band of Robertsons Gollywogs that keep the tunes going in the Dining room.
They date I believe to around the 1950's and were each hand painted and made of plaster. I am missing a couple - can't remember which ones at the moment. No chance they would ever be remade in todays society! Interesting though Neil Title: Re: Bring on the Band!

The other day i was in a card shop in Bridgend and seen little Gollywogs for sale, very similar to the oldies you have in your collection Neil. Brought back some memories of the old badges :) Nice collection Neil ;) Title: Re: Bring on the Band!
