Manufacturer
Kodak (Australasia) Pty Ltd, Coburg, Greater Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 1978
It is possible that this badge was produced for the 50th anniversary of Kodacolor being made by Kodak Australasia in 1978, the year when Ian Yelland retired. Further research is required to confirm this date. Coburg started emulsion making operations in about 1960 so the badge cannot date earlier than this. -
