A couple of recent ebay offerings of interest was a Goodwill Club lapel badge and a car badge. The lapel badge was in great condition and sold for around $44 while the car badge was a bit poorly, missing its enamel centre badge and the chrome it seems. It sold for $22, unfortunately neither are now in my possession however :(

The article posted by Richard above explains the different colour codes used on the badges to identify them by State and as either city or country areas, all a bit complex and there must be a dozen combinations before they got their individual centre badge. I wonder if an old employee of Stokes Badges has a couple of sets salted away??

The cover of Modern Motor for March 1953 showed some of the badges available.

Another MM badge slipped through my fingers on eBay, obviously I'm a cheap skate. This one sold for $66.55, a nice Sydney badge, no coloured backing and maybe a couple of extra holes in it but the price just seems to be going up.

This looks like it would be a nice piece of 'caravanalia' to find, especially if you could pick it up for 15/- ($1.50).
I don't quite know what it is for or what you were supposed to do with it, and who knows, maybe Mr. Folie still has a box full in in the shed.
