Also present is a set of four Avis campaign pins featuring the slogan We Try Harder in four languages: Spanish (Nosotros nos esforzamos más), Portuguese (Tentamos sempre fazer melhor ainda), Dutch (Wij doen nòg meer ons best), and French (Nous faisons plus pour vous satisfaire). Automotive and industrial brands are represented by Hot Wheels, Castrol, Kodak, Cleveland, and a Porsche crest, along with a circular red and white pin for HP Lotus Baked Beans. Charitable and commemorative items include several Royal British Legion poppy pins, notably a centenary edition marked Royal British Legion 100 Years and others dated 2017 and 2024. The lot features two RSPB pins on original backing cards depicting a puffin and a mallard duck, plus a Combat Stress military charity pin. Travel and aviation interest is provided by a United Arab Airlines bronze-tone badge and an Aer Lingus One-Eleven pin. The items are primarily constructed from die-struck metal with enamel or printed detailing, featuring standard butterfly clutch or pin backings.
