Austin Club Badge - Mick Hobday - 22-02-2018     I found this badge back in the 1980s, I think in an antique fair.  It is chrome plated brass, enamelled, and quite thick and heavy.  The chrome finish dates it post-1928, but I wonder if it is of an earlier design?  I have never seen or heard of another.  Was the "Austin Owners' Club" an official Austin Motor Co club, or simply a bunch of contemporary enthusiasts?  And what were the years of operation?  [attachment=2291]
