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]
