I HAVE an unusual hobby - collecting song badges. You may have never heard of these, as everybody I have contacted in the music industry, have never heard or come across them either.
But I wonder if some of your readers may have the odd one sitting in a box or drawer that they would be willing to part with. Of couse, I am prepared to pay for them, including any postages.
In the majority of instances the badges were issued during the 1930's and were sold for 6d, along with the sheet music, at Blackpool and other seaside resorts.
