We all thought nothing of Golliwogs when we were all nippers - Enid Blyton books (including Noddy) and the labels on Robinsons jam jars.....

Low and behold tho, a decade or so later, and it was all tarred as racism

This answers the question,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Golly-Badge-Ro...QQcmdZViewItem

Search for Golly Badges

The were a few limited issue ones that are rare the normal ones are still in demand, wish I hadn't thrown all mine away years ago.

Robinsons Marmalade gave away the "golliwogs" in 1offs to build an 8 piece "golliwog band" one played the guitar,one played the drums etc etc

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Robertson-Goll...QQcmdZViewItem

If you had the full band i believe they are worth a bit,

Seriously some of the golly wog badges are worth over Ł100 individualy. They issued various limited editions that are well rare.

My wife has about 2 / 300 of these things in the loft
