| Name: | Cast Aluminium |
| Brand: | Claud Butler |
| Country: | England |
| Years: | 1950's |
| Found On: | Vintage Lightweights |
| Additional Info: |
This head badge found on a 1952 Massed Start is interesting
on two counts, 1st its cast in an aluminium/alloy rather than pressed tin,
2nd the rings are in yet another colour configuration (yellow top right) the
badge is very light and has fine cast detail, perhaps reserved for the very top
of the range model such as the Massed Start? |

yellow ring bottom left. As apposed to the Holdsworth and later, reproduction
versions which have the yellow ring top left. |

| Name: | Marlboro/Falcon version |
| Brand: | Claud Butler |
| Country: | England |
| Years: | 1980's |
| Additional Info: |
Here is an original example of the last Claud Butler “Olympic
rings” this was found on a 1987 Cape Wrath MTB built by Falcon. The badge is a version
originally created by the previous owner of the brand, Holdsworth. But when the
ownership transferred to Marlboro late 1985 in the Midlands, the ‘London’ from
the ‘London England’ was dropped. The badge continued after Falcons takeover
early 1987 and I believe survived until sometime mid 1988. |
