Vintage 1986 Westfield College Pin – Rare UK College Ephemera – Penguin Mascot

A rare and darkly humorous vintage button from Westfield College, University of London, dated 1986, featuring the college’s penguin mascot in a satirical conservation-themed design. The graphic shows the penguin facing a gun barrel with the message: “Preserve Local Wild-Life!”—a biting visual metaphor likely intended as campus satire or commentary on environmental apathy.

- Marked Westfield College / University of London
- Approx. 1.5" diameter
- Standard safety pin closure (see photos for condition)
