A Chairman Mao badge given to us by our very dear friend and collector, Clint Twist

Clint began collecting Mao badges and other Chinese Cultural Revolution artefacts many years ago. A now retired non fiction writer he has spent the last few years adding to his extensive collection snd knowledge. A new book has just been published by a Professor of Chinese history. Her introduction begins by citing the value of Clint’s collection and I am so pleased and proud that his work and knowledge has been recognised. When children and grandchildren want to start collecting we should encourage then be it stones or stamps or (as with youngest grandson) dinosaurs!
