Just Sharing This Badges from 1950s/60s tvs

Found in one of my Dad's old storage tins whilst clearing out today, he used to have a shelved wall full of these tins all labelled with component types.

Nice collection. Never heard of the Pageant though.

The Pye Continental was our first TV, a fringe model which we needed in the 50's for any chance of receiving ITV in our area

The OXO tin could be worth more than the TV badges.

I've been unearthing some of my test equipment I had stored away in the back room (looking for something completely unrelated), and came across this. Probably 1970 but possibly earlier.

That's brought back a few memories Rolf. Most of the badges are before my time as an apprentice, though I recognise GEC, Sobell, Murphy, Ferguson and Fidelity. We also used to service KB (Kolster-Brandes) and the Co-op own brand Defiant. Yes, I really did repair televisions for the Co-op.... We had to wear white coats (overalls) with a blue collar and I was often mistaken for either a mikman or the bread delivery man...

Nice find!
