The Hartley's name was concentrated on the jam range. [3] [12] Pilgrim, David (2000). "The Golliwog Caricature". Ferris State University . Retrieved 23 October 2018. The Robertson Golly was not only limited to badges. There were Robertson Golly dolls, ceramic, Golly games for children, the 1979 illustrated storybook Here Comes Golly by Gyles Brandreth [16] and even Golly clothing.

James Robertson of Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland was born on 16 January 1832 in Niddry Street, Paisley. He started life working in the local thread mills at the age of eight. During a long down turn in the silk trade, in 1847 Robertson's parents decided to apprentice him to a local grocer, Gibson & Craig, wine spirit and tea merchants at 107 High Street in Paisley. This redefined Robertson's future. Only at this late stage did he learn to read and write, attending night classes at Seedhill School. [1] He married Marion McFadyen on 15 June 1856. The famous Robertson's Golliwog symbol (not seen as racially charged at the time) appeared in 1910 after a trip to the US to set up a plant in Boston. His son John bought a golliwog doll there. For some reason this started to appear first on their price lists and was then adopted as their trade mark. [5] [6]

Premier Foods would instead concentrate on its more successful Hartley’s brand.At about the same time a range of 11 footballer and 12 musician Golly figures were produced in plaster, standing about 2.5" high. [15] In 2001, the Golly collectables were replaced by seven Roald Dahl-created characters, [3] as illustrated by Quentin Blake. These included the Big Friendly Giant, Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, and Willy Wonka. This collectables scheme ended in 2006.
