Sports Brooches

A collection of sports brooches. Includes a variety of subjects such as cricket, football, racquet sports, golf and sailing.

Sailing Brooches

The stamps used in these badges were designed by Andrew Restall and issued in 1975 by the Royal Mail. These beautiful sailing craft illustrations make eye catching accessories.  Rich colour combinations give a vibrant quality to each postage stamp design. White framing highlights and accentuates both the drawing and the colour palette.
