hi everybody
im trying to help my son build up a collection of miners strike badges , I'm an ex miner myself and happy to see a young un showing the interest, not be too far down the road that young people won't even know what a pit is so I'm trying to help my lad
he is to frame and display them when he has enough so was hoping anyone would know someone with a badge that could be willing to sell it to me ? There is others I'm after as well but fingers crossed someone on the forum can help ?
if anyone has any badges to sell or swap please get in touch as there's quite a lot of different ones he needs
thanks
jim

There are hundreds of them on Ebay most around £5 but some of the rare ones are at £325
also lots of pit checks / motties
and other mining memorabilia
good luck Andy

Sadly you missed the joke Andy,out of the workforce of Daw Mill,only 30 were on strike,
But an even rarer one would be Cadley Hill in South Derbyshire,only 3 on strike,and one of them a fireman.

hi all yes I understand there were only 30 or more on strike at daw mill but there were 200 plus made, two given to each striker and rest shared out to supporters of the strike so I was hoping to find someone who no longer wants the one they have or maybe to sell me a spare one or maybe swap for a badge they may be after ? im willing to pay well for one as im trying to help my son build up a collection so thanks for any replies and hope someone can help, also after any sort of badge from birch coppice pit if that's any easier ? cheers jim |

Hi
I would be interested to know if you managed to get a daw mill badge? I collect the strike badges myself coming from a mining background. I have some of the rare badges as in the badge book but have never acquired the daw mill badge. It would cost between £300-£500 most likely to purchase
