The stamps shown on the badges above were designed by Arnold Machin in the 1960s, and his design has become something of an icon. I decided to make this series of badges to commemorate Machin's definitive postage stamp design & preserve some fragments of postal history.
You have 14 days, from receipt, to notify the seller if you wish to cancel your order or exchange an item.
Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; items which deteriorate quickly (e.g. food), personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken; digital items.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
Over the years the Machin definitive stamp has been issued in a rainbow of colours, and YOU WILL RECEIVE A SINGLE PIN-BACK BADGE, randomly selected by me, which may or may not be one of the exact badges shown above.
Each pin-back badge measures approx. 1” diameter, and has been upcycled from a genuine, salvaged piece of British ephemera (stamped envelopes that have travelled through the postal system). Each badge will also feature a fragment of postmark, which may be 'killer bars', date circle or a random message stamp from the post office.
Each badge will be mounted on a matching presentation card, hand-stamped with the TangleMail postmark. The reverse side bears an image of a previously-made selection of Machin stamp badges.
FREE MINI NOTECARD
In addition to a mounted badge, you will receive a separate, matching mini notecard with blank reverse (fountain pen-friendly!). Cards are professionally printed on 325gsm uncoated, non-laminated FSC card with a wonderfully smooth, matte finish.
Please see my other listings to choose from a specific colour 'family'. Feel free to send a message if you would like a custom set of badges in particular colour/s or quantity - I have lots of badges made up & ready to go, and many more just waiting to be made, each one entirely unique!
