![]() Another Czechoslovak produced badge, this one is of a pressed metal with a blue wash to highlight the features. |
|
![]() A beautifully painted under enamel broach. Marked on the back MC & CO 925 Silver. |
These two appear to be
of a later date than the previous examples. The
one on the left is unmarked & on a gilt back, the
one on the right is stamped on the back 'STERLING
SILVER RD.706732'.

![]() This great pair of badges were made in a very limited number. The Bonzo was commissioned in the mid 1970's by the then editor of Music Talk - an in-house magazine for EMI Records, distributed to record shops & dealers - as a competition prize. Ooloo was made to commemorate the 100th edition of the magazine a little later. Neither were officially for sale & thus quite rare. |
![]() A modern enameled badge. This was made by Richard Dennis to accompany the publication of The Bonzo Book by Paul Babb & Gay Owen in 1988. |
Another type of enamelware were dash
plaques for cars. These are hard to find &
highly collectable.
|
Not strictly badges, these two
examples are vanity 'mirror' cases. The Bonzo is
a tiny struck metal piece, fixed into the material
case. The 'mirror' is polished metal.
Note the one on the
right's 'mirror' is styled like a pocket-watch with a
fake winder.

![]() This is a silver napkin holder with a Bonzo attached to the side. |
A sterling silver
book-marker/page-marker.
Bearing the maker's hallmarks - J.W Birmingham 1924. It measures 3 inches in length. |
![]() Possibly the tiniest three-dimensional Bonzo, a Bonzo charm. It has a marking on the top ring, so is possibly silver. It stands just half an inch tall! |
