Interestingly Carlton did a good number of styles over the decades both pre Raleigh and post . I shall add some later.

Thought I might start a thread on the often forgotten importance of head badges to ID and define a bicycle. Still in vogue today, they seem to be nowhere near as ornate and important as those pre 1980.

Here are a few examples to get started.

First off Paris Galibier, and a two piece vintage Peugeot headbadge and the famous Hetchins logo.
I've heard there are good reproductions of the Hetchins any idea where to get them?
