killerjerrylee

Those of you who are not travelling to Wigan and who by then will be tired of Christmas, may care to visit the Charlton Museum, which will be open between 11 am and 3 pm on Friday. In addition to all the normal goodies, you will be among the first to view our latest acquisition of which we are very excited. Call in and see us. All are welcome. No charge.

Henry, any idea as to what era this badge belongs.

Acab

I will bring it along Friday.

@Acab I'd say 40s

Where did you get that? It's great.

And thanks

I think Henry is right. If I remember this correctly the first use of the robin badge was in the 1946 cup final though that particular design may have been a little different to yours.

Hard to see from this photos if it is the same but similar @Stig @Acab

When I read that earlier, I wondered what on earth you could mean, who would be pleased to see a precious item missing? Now it's clear, you meant our beloved CEO!

Went in there, pleasure to meet @Henry Irving and @SE7toSG3

Really good work that they and others have done and well worth a visit and a donation

Thanks gents

Baldybonce

Thanks for a brief but interesting visit.
Well done to those that donate the time and effort.

I popped in this afternoon, too, and great to see that nothing stands still. New exhibits all the time and a lifetime of work continues. So good to see people with passion, energy and commitment behind this. How many of us have Charlton treasure buried in the attic - stuff with little or no material value but which is part of the history of our club or the history of it's supporters which should be shared and enjoyed by so many others? Let's hope that a more appropriate space can be found for the Museum in the future where we can better showcase our proud history and better store and catalogue ongoing donations.

Popped in this morning - there's always something to learn and something new to see, though the promised star item hadn't arrived when I was there. Sounds good though.
The Museum is a credit to the dedicated Charlton fans who run it and from friends descriptions of visiting other clubs museums, probably worth a wider bit of promotion once we are all pulling in the same direction.

Popped in with the football hating Wife this morning - was well worth the visit and even she said it was great! Well worth a donation to keep these fantastic historical items preserved for all to see. Well done the people behind this project and can't wait for new stuff to be discovered and put on display. If you haven't been well worth a visit.

Henry Irving

Thanks for all the kind words.

The new star item arrived at 2.00 pm.
