Hi guys and gals,

I wonder if any of you have the hobby of collecting school badges from various schools? Or perhaps in the past you exchanged badges with other schools during a combined event? Do share your collection here, if any.

My secondary school years were from 2001-2007 and by that time many schools were not using metal badges anymore, so it was not easy to collect. I envy some of my friends whose parents used to collect school badges back in those days where every school used metal badges, so it was much easier to swap.

Anyway, here's a list of my collection. Pictures will come soon when I get my camera fixed/ new camera.

1. MBS KL
2. SMK (P) Bandaraya (Pustakawan)
3. SMK (P) Bandaraya (Pengawas)
4. SMK Tinggi Setapak
5. Bukit Bintang Girls School (School Captain) (old badge from 70s)
6. SMK Convent Bukit Nanas
7. SMK Anderson Ipoh
8. SMK Taman Desa 1 (Ketua Pengawas)
9. SMK Taman Desa 1 (Pengawas)
10. SMK Seri Bintang Utara (Pengawas PSS)
11. Victoria Institution "fake" badge from San Peng flats shop (ask the VI boys - they should know this famous shoip)
12.SMK Maxwell
13. SMK Jalan San Peng (Pengawas) - rare, because the school has changed its name to SMK Dato Onn
14. SMK Jalan San Peng (Pustakawan) - rare, for same reasons as the badge above
15. SMK Vivekananda
16. SMK Seri Kembangan (Pustakawan)
17. SMK Dato Lokman (Pengawas Pusat Sumber)
18. SMK SS17 Subang Jaya (collar pin)
19. SMK Dato Onn (Pengawas Pusat Sumber)
20. SMK (P) Pudu - Pengawas
21. SMK St. John (Councillor Prefect)
22. SMJK Confucian (Pengawas Pusat Sumber)
23. SMK Subang Utama - collar pin
24. MGS KL (Pengawas) - damaged
25. Anglo Chinese School, Singapore (my only foreign badge - exchanged at an event)
26. SMJK Katholik, P.J. (old badge from 70s)
27. SMK St John (old badge from 70s)
28. SMK La Salle P.J. (old badge from 70s)

I have another 14 badges in my collection that I am not really interested to keep as I don't know much about the schools / no sentimental value as some of my friends had bought them for me at jumble sale / given to me by some friends and relatives who owned them many years back.

Anyone else have this hobby?

Thanks! I am just a casual collector, I don't purposely go round to other schools asking them to sell me badges. What I usually did was I carry a few extra pieces of my school's badge and when I see someone at the bookstore, train station, bus, tuition centre etc. wearing a metal badge I just go up to them and ask if they are willing to exchange / sell their badge. Hehe.



Cool, I don't have your school's badge.. but I have a spare I.J. Convent, Melaka badge in my list of "unwanted" badges

Yes please! Well, what version do you have? I already have the normal student school badge (without cross...) lol

Haha you're right, this could do with some pics.

Er.. unfortunately my laptop has crashed, its under repair at the moment...

I'll get the pics up when the good ol' laptop is back n running
