In 1985 Robertson's made available reproductions of the white waistcoated brooches first issued after the war. The 6 brooches were contained within a brown plastic presentation box. The wording on the lid varied from '1940's brooch collection' to '1940 brooch collection'. The reproductions were made by REV Gomm and the backstamps included the year, 1985.
Other than the obvious difference between the 1940's and 1940 on the lid the packaging had also been found to vary in the following respects.
