Edward VIII 1937 Coronation commemorative badges on display card

A scarce original Edward VIII pair badges produced for the proposed Coronation in 1937 that never took place and preserved on its original card backing in the form of a patriotic enamelled 'Union Flag', the centre with circular recess which was designed to hold a plastic photographic head and shoulder image of the King, but sadly missing due to the fact that they were only lightly stuck in place. An additional chromium plated red, white and blue enamel 'Edward VIII cypher' stick pin badge accompanies this very colourfully printed display card inscribed 'Coronation 1937' 'Made in England'. Good condition, complete with original pin fittings, some age wear and creasng.
