The Big A :sunglasses: , Gardner 240, :sunglasses: ■■■■■■■ :open_mouth: badges my favs still to this day, i remember asking foden for a badge back in the early 70s, still at school back then, they wrote back and said you have to buy one
£1 :angry: :cry: i think at the time postal orders sent one badge received :unamused:
The rest of the truck manufactures all sent a badge free and most a nice letter i wonder what you would get today ?

in the 60s i went into fodens nearly every week for repairs or greasing etc . a stroll round to the reception desk and you would be given a lapel badge . if it was near a mealtime you were issued with a chit for a free breakfast or lunch . no badges left now though , i suspect the lad took them to school for swaps with his mates .

Hi Folks,
I’ve got a few.

Sorry, couldn’t resist, loving the badges really.

Are they the badges that moved the goalposts?

all i have is the Leyland badge (left hand corner)…i was given it at Millburn motors in Carlisle when my dad stopped to pick up spares tae take back to yard in the 60s.

The only one I collected was a “Gardner 150” which I put on the bonnet of my Minivan!

It looks like “Malc Step” has a duplication of some of the badges I have in my collection. :slight_smile:

Cheers , cattle wagon man.
