Hi Mike,
One of the Standard Pattern Cards, dated 22nd June 1958, and held by the Imperial War Museum (and personally handled by myself) has a J.R GAUNT LONDON marked badge attached to it. Is is however marked, on the rear, Geo S Tye Co Ltd with a date of 14/12/59 and a signature together with an indent number of 3057 which has been crossed through. This signified that the pattern card was lent to the Tye company on the date given above (the written company entry) and later returned to the pattern room (indent number crossed through). Can you give your reference for the GS Tye Company Ltd example that you have quoted? Regards Chris |

Ive noticed that quite a few people have started to list the manufacturer in the listing title or at least on the description ,which helps if you are looking for a specific maker.

To view the badge go to endici's ebay page, then on the left column click ended listings. I happen to be the winning bidder. Will post for the makers mark section when I receive the badge. Cheers Paul. Last edited by sappersson; 12-01-14 at 09:50 PM. Reason: Updated info. |

I have only seen one staybrite badge by G.S.Tye ltd in my time collecting them, what sort of money do they fetch?
Is a rare maker the same as a rare badge, or does the rare maker make the badge rare?

To my knowledge George S Tye & Co Ltd made badges for the following: East Anglian Brigade Home Counties Brigade Edinburgh OTC Sheffield OTC The only one i do not have is the East Anglian Bde. Home Counties is not that rare and can be picked up on E Bay for between £7 and £14. Edinburgh OTC i have only ever seen 3 or 4 on offer. I paid £30 for mine a couple of years ago. Sheffield OTC not often seen on offer. I got mine for a bargain price of £4 approx 3 years ago. Generally i would say that there are several makers who manufactured Staybrite badges in the early days who only made maybe 4 or 5 badges and then the bigger players such as Gaunt and Firmin gained most of the contracts. So the early players such as Tye, Buttons Ltd, Turner & Simpson, Grove Mfg, R.A. Huges and lastly Shaw Munster Group are the manufacturers who are sought after by the serious Anodised Aluminium collectors. As Chris Marsh who wrote the book on AA badge collecting mentioned, a badge is only worth what a collector will pay for it. I have some rare badges in my collection and have paid anything from £7 for a very rare Pioneer Corps with a Tudor Crown to £150 for another badge. Sometimes you get lucky other times you have to pay through the nose if you want it. There are several 'very rare' badges that i would love to own but know that if they come up i will have to dig deep into my pockets for. One is the wide pattern RAOC and the other i would like is the early Wiltshire Regiment with the AEA Cypher. Hope this helps answer your question Regards Steve |

GS Tye made both the KC and QC version of the Edinburgh Uni badge . The shield version that is.

many thanks Steve, it is the hom e counties that I bought for middle of your suggested price range. I am glad to fill that hole for sensible money, I also got a R.A. Hughes at the same time which ws another maker I did not have. I have to check to see which I still do not have, I think shaw munster might be it.
