A same colour Sheffield Wednesday badge sold for almost £600 recently.
Obviously the words Sheffield Wednesday made all the difference.

I think it is a sampler badge but although a genuine Miller without any name the value is dramatically lower.

There was a Red one for sale on ebay last year from a prominent badge seller who had a start at £300 and tongue in cheek suggested it was a Manchester United badge, but without the name there is little value IMO[IT NEVER SOLD]

What would you say would be a fair price ?

a lot less than what is being asked!

I am no expert on Miller items.



Maybe another member has a view.

It's only a "guestimate" but I'd say £50 tops without the team name on it.

Then starting at around £180 / £200+ for an example attributed to an actual team.

The last pre-war Miller Ball for Newport County went for about £180 if my memory serves - whilst a plain amber & black one went for about £38.

Bigger, more sought clubs would fetch more though I'd imagine.

that's y i said what i did

If one comes my way i would be delighted if one does not-well nothing to lose sleep over surely.

As far as the price is concerned i think if one does come up and is offered on the open market you can forget any prices that other Miller Ball badges have ever fetched, a MUFC one would be an incredible price and there would be just a few prepared to buy it in my opinion-do not ask me what i think an incredible price would be as the Red Mist appears and all sense can disappear perhaps with some folks-just some!.

I know of a collector in Russia whose got one and a collector in the U.S.. I don't know of one in Britain but there's got to be a few surely.
