Yes, it's a Puffin Explorer badge - one of the old ones. I've sadly mislaid one of the fifteen badges in this collection - it'll probably turn up when I least expect it. Never mind, I've still got the rest of them to share with you all.
Again, these are the work of Jill McDonald. One of my earlier posts showed one of the designs used as a rubber stamp. All of these badges were given away at Puffin exhibitions in the late 70's.
This is an example of the badges that followed Jill's death - The work is very slick, and obviously follows Jill's example, but it doesn't quite reach me in the same way. If you are the illustrator, please don't take offense! I'm a big fan of Jill's work, and I may be a bit blinkered.
