1950/60's Standards
Standard Golly Design - White Waist Coat

The White Waist Coated Golly was produced back in the early 1950's.  Robertson's used a verity of different brooch manufacturers during the production of the White waist coated Golly,  which resulted in many minor variations in the design being produced from each manufacturer.  Below are some of my collection I have collected and show the different  manufactures  used to produce the Famous White Waist Coated Golly.

All White Waist Coated Golly designs manufactured have pop eyes.  Notice that the Olympic manufacture badge has a different design with the angular 'bow tie'. Other manufactures made the Standard Golly with Red or Black bow tie, these are just some of the small varieties in designs produced by the many makers of the Standard Golly Badge. All these different varieties in designs creates the fun of collecting.
