Robertson's Golden Shred

Barbara Crews

A small jar with a vintage advertisement for Robertson's Golden Shred Marmalade.

Golliwog was created in 1895 by Florence Upton, but the image/character was not copyrighted and soon became a popular character in the U.K. Robertson's started using Golliwog as their mascot in the early 1900s and he remained a very popular mascot for almost 100 years. The company quit using Golliwog in 2001.
