They were very popular back in the 50's/60's especially for big matches like Cup Finals.. does anyone collect originals?

Here's my one and only rosette circa 1968

Very collectable now as well if the last few year's auctions are anything to go by, pennants as well. If anyone's interested I've got the 7 rosettes from the 60's and 70's for sale at £15 inclusive of postage for the Auchinleck Talbot Beechwood Regeneration Funds. The one missing is from Milan, 1960's.

sorry to trump u here Dave but this is what you call a rosette! produced by a tailor for some members of the United Malta Supporters Club who came to Wembley. It measures a wopping 10" wide and 17" in length-when i showed it my Mrs she said i have never seen one as big as that before! sadly she referred to the image below Crying or Very sad

all good clean family fun!
