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

I also remember my parents sending for the golly badges off the Robertsons Jam pots, wish i knew what happened to them now  Undecided

 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  Smiley

Nice collection Neil  Wink
