Other "Official Robertson's" Brooches The Balloons: Balloon pins were made for the hot-air ballooning fraternity rather than Golly collectors but these days they are collected along with anything 'Golly'! There are many different balloon badges (or pins) to be found and they aren't cheap! Below are those I have in my collection. The Circular Enamels: Golly I G-BBBT The Jelly Babies: These curious little badges were sponsored by Robertson's around 1988-9. I don't know much about them but although they are definitely not Gollies, there is the Robertson connection hence their inclusion in my collection. There were 6 of the cheeky little chappies. The Pendants: A surprising number of pendants have been produced by Robertson's over the years. Whilst there was an early one available in the 1920's generally the White Waistcoat (1960's) era is credited with producing the first of these interesting additions to the Robertson portfolio.
