Man Utd supporters club committee badge year?

[holtie96]

I have recently begun collecting a few badges and would appreciate some opinions on the pictured badge. Does anyone know how many would have been issued and also an approximate year for the badge?
Would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks as always
Holtie 👍

Hi Holtie

Nice item, likely early 1960's. Shame no makers mark, as for how many were produced it is anyone's guess.
Still if you ever consider to sell then I will do my best to twist your arm firmly up your back

Done a little investigating, here are some images


the top 2 badges are the same design as the committee version you have, the 1st badge is from the early 1960's and the one below is a more recent copy, also the reverse on both shows the top badge being the older one and the second badge has a copied pin but instead of being across the back, it is top to bottom??.

The 3rd badge is Silver and enamel and belonged to United Captain Noel Cantwell, this is hall marked for 1966 and is a similar design to the shield in all the others, so maybe early 1960's is not so far away perhaps. I am not a badge expert as such-others on the forum have a much greater knowledge overall.

One point to note is that yours and my two only have 3 sails on the ship, but the official United Silver badge has 4 sails on the ship-perhaps one way of not copying a 100% the official Manchester Coat of Arms?

Regards

Leslie
