I once told the late Sid woodhouse about this badge and he did not know of its existence so I would say it is extremely rare

I think that the postage to the USA, as the link is to the US version of Ebay.

My wife has this badge and I've often wondered why a rabbit popping out of a hat, it dates back to the 70's.  Maybe someone from the travel club is more enlightened as to the design.  At a guess it would be that previous Town sides as under dogs often pulled a rabbit out of the hat to get a result against the bigger clubs.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Old football badges are a gold mine, even down to lower league clubs where I suppose not too many were made. Supply and demand nowadays makes them very collectable.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I suppose you can ask what you like...no bidders as yet might tell you something!

Yes I have this badge too, it is definitely genuine. I think it is just meant to be representative of "Grimsby Town are Magic!"
