The Hartley's name was concentrated on the jam range. [3] [12] John Robertson retired as chairman in 1937, and he was succeeded by his son, David Robertson (born 1893). The Robertson Golly was not only limited to badges. There were Robertson Golly dolls, ceramic, Golly games for children, the 1979 illustrated storybook Here Comes Golly by Gyles Brandreth [16] and even Golly clothing. At the start of the 1980s the hard enamelled badges were replaced with cheaper to produce acrylic badges, but this did not affect their popularity. When production stopped in 2001, over 20 million Gollies had been sent out. [3] Discontinuation [ edit ]
