This is apparantly rare according to what you say at AA. I want to sell these. Can anyone let me know what they are worth?

He owned a garage business in Aberdeen, and was also a certifying Officer, Ministry of Transport, Northern Scotland Area. His qualification was M. Inst. B. E. I would be interested in finding out what any or all of these relate to. Between the wars, my grandfather, Robert McRobb, was an Automobile Association Engineer.

Patrols have always reached me within 40 minutes, have worked their hardest to get the car repaired at the roadside before summoning for a recovery vehicle to take you and your car home or garage. I have never had a problem with RAC and I would recommend them, simply because the service I have always received from them has been magnificent. Thank You RAC, you really do RAC to it !

I had to wait on a patrol for 8 hours on one occasion and 4.5 hours on another. Alan I can relate to you on that when it comes to dealing with the RAC.

We collected several badges over the years and he was particularly proud of a very old one he had. However, eventually they either rusted off or were nicked. Today I have just bought a 1932 chrome badge for £15 so it is still possible to acquire them. (In fact the shop where I got it has about 8!But it is Basingstoke, home of the AA now.) I shall, however, be keeping this one INSIDE the car! There is a very good dating chart on this and several other sites and guidance to price - well, look at them on eBay.
