(Extremely Rare) Royal Mail Badge & Pocketwatch keys

By hatfield08, 16 October, 2012
Description

Hello,

I have an old Royal Mail Badge (Mid 20th century). It seems to be pretty rare, as I can only find a picture of it on one website: http://catalogue.postalheritage.org.uk/dserve/dserve.exe?dsqServer=localhost&dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Catalog&dsqPos=71&dsqSearch=%28%28text%29%3D%27badge%27%29 When I originally bought it, it came with two pocketwatch keys. I'm not sure if they're for a royal mail pocket watch or not, any ideas on this? Please could you estimate how much you think these collectibles might be worth?  thankyou,James

Unable to locate any auction records or any sale records for this particular royal mail badge. Other more common, but still not very common, badges from the royal mail go for $20-50. The pocket watch keys are from two different watches and their value is under a dollar, and that is if someone wants them, very common and no practical use or real collectors for such common keys.
