Hello

I would certainly recommend the three books by Pamela Caunt.

Assuming they are still readily available, they are very reasonably priced and do contain a lot of useful information. The sweethearts are all illustrated in colour and there is a descriptive text giving more details of each badge and of that category badge - ie hollow silver badges, mottoes, mother-of-pearl and so on.

There are some period adverts (always a nice touch) and a list of makers and their marks. About 48 pages in all and hundreds of items illustrated.

Provided you can pick them up at a reasonable price you can't go far wrong.

Hopefully some other member will be able to add to the book list!

Regards
Roger
