You could try photographer Tony Breese's souvenir shop opposite where the beer tent is erected on the Douglas promenade. Sorry I have not got the contact details, someone else may know.

Sadly, Paul, you're right.
Aladdin's cave is no more!! Called there in May when over for the Pre-TT - hoardings up and effing re-development in progress!!
Saw him in the Billown paddock with his little van, and at the Town Square prizegiving, but I don't think that he's got another shop.
Another good old establishment, manned by a gentleman, gone!!

Re: TT 1963 Badge
There was a shop in the Villa arcade who sold them, also its no consolation but they were available at the classic show at Stafford in Sept, the next show is in the spring.

He goes to all the road race events, and was at the Southern etc this year. Unfortunately I don't have an address and I've lost the phone number I had.
You would certainly get the badge on ebay eventually, and at a surprisingly low price usually.
