That was a suggestion re. this Meer Jones poster which also portrays the exotic such as the Middlesex Footballers.

They also offered a range of Miniature Brooches, all regiments and Naval, silvered and enamel, gilt and enamel and right up to silver and even 9 carat gold. I suspect these are what we now refer to as "sweetheart" badges, though they do not use the term.

I would imagine that the Belts mounted with badges (36) for a very reasonable 12/6, post free, were all full size.

I am not sure from you poster if Meer and Jones manufactured badges or just sold them, if the latter they probably bought them in bulk from William L. Thomson as their ranges appear to be identical.
