DESCRIPTION: Prewar Blackcurrant fruit design with small Golly head as one of the berries. Manufactured by Miller of Birmingham. Issued by Robertsons from 1932. Certified as genuine by the Miller backstamp to reverse. Not only is this most desirable of the prewar fruits but this is also the most scarce of the Miller backstamps. This is the only Golly badge design in existence that is known to carry the 'Miller Reverse Curve' backstamp (usually reserved for Miller Song Badges of the same era). 

ATTENTION ALL BACKSTAMP COLLECTORS THIS IS MILLER 1A-v!!!

BACKSTAMP: Miller Type IA v (REGD 768931). Reverse curve stamp. Clearly defined backstamp.

CONDITION: Presented in wonderful condition. The enamel is all present and correct. The colours of the blackcurrants are a gorgeous deep purple with no signs of any scratches or stress marks. The green leaf is also close to perfect. The metal shows an aged patina. Complete with original stragith pin in full working order.

See photos for full details. Multiple high quality images shows the badge from different angles.
