They are almost all advertising pins from the time of the pin craze (1963-1966). You can buy them in bulk by the kilo for 1 or 2 cents each, so at least you haven't paid an unreasonable amount, especially because they are in a just sitting on an album.

It's a nice lot to start with, but a more advanced collector won't find much to their liking. The only exceptions are the Michelin button (which you already entered, thanks) and Nu-Texa club (brake linings), for which an automobilia collector might pay a few euros. The rest is offered in abundance, for a few cents each.

The buttons from Rye and Nu-Texa are not yet in the catalog.

If you look them up one by one in the catalog you can find out whether there are any that are more sought after.
And if there is one not yet in the catalogue, you can add it.
Then it could be a special one and gradually the craze for collecting might get to you

Silkroad You are the (beginning) collector, aren't you? or did you want to play as a trader?..

De Kringloop is certainly not stupid, if there was really something of value you would have paid more for it.

Yes, true, but I actually meant whether there was something included that might be interesting for a collector

Good afternoon!

I happened to come across a collection folder full of pins at the local thrift store. I've never collected pins before, but I couldn't pass them up! Is there anyone who can help me with what and whether I have something here or whether it is worth nothing.

Best regards,

Silkroad

The ZHEC was an organization that organized motorcycle rides (orientation rides, puzzle rides, tours) for motorcycle clubs in the 1950s. I suspect that the abbreviation stands for South Holland Islands Competition , but I have not yet found definitive confirmation of this.

Some you just need to know, but the search becomes easier if you filter by type and material, and add a keyword where possible (flag, bicycle, fish).

The two Disney pins (Beauty and the Beast) are not yet in the catalogue.

In any case, only 7 more to go. That & in Lastdodo also looks strange, wouldn't that be the reason?

Ooh I had repressed myself, yes it was meant for you.
I think this problem has been discussed before in the Community.
The same problem is also with music, just search for the Label A&M and you can't find it either. So they turned it into A&M Records, they think so.

I assume the message is intended for me. However, if you type A&0 you get this. In my opinion, searching doesn't get the &. The link helped me, thanks.

I was able to quickly add almost all the pins from the album (250 + a few duplicates) to my collection.
I couldn't find this one, which is also difficult if there is no text on it. I tried the A & O with and without a space, but I couldn't find it.

If anyone knows, please message the forum. Don't be in a hurry.

Would you like to crop these scans a little more?

An imperfect copy may always be entered if the item is not yet in the catalog. But the intention is indeed to find a better image for it later.
None of the linked collectors and shops have made that effort so far :-(

(I don't have one myself, but I suspect the pin is made of tin. Do you have a magnet at hand?)

Thank you! Good that you mention those misprints, there are several under comic pins (how appropriate).
Just came across a copy that is missing an edge at the top. #3027807
It might be better to include my copy as an additional photo, because the catalog copy has a wider band for the text confectionery, etc.

Apparently "misprints" are also included.
No, such incidental deviations are not permitted, according to the Basic Manual (art. 1.4.1.).
Printing and die-cutting deviations are not unusual in advertising pins from the 1960s (pin craze). With some pins it is even difficult to find well-centered ones.
There are indeed a few in the Pin Catalog. I hadn't gotten around to it yet, but in any case they will be removed when the section gets its own Handbook.

Pin albums can be found in the Collector Albums section:
https://www.lastdodo.nl/nl/areas/1524685-speldjes
Your version with gold-colored print and Tido imprint is not yet listed.

I don't know anything about the pin collection area. What I used to buy was comic book related pins. I couldn't find the only album I have on Lastdodo.
I will enter this, but should I do so under compilation albums?

I started looking up the hundreds of pins that are in the album, and I must compliment the importing collectors and administrators on how easy the pins are to find. I will add what is not yet included. Apparently "misprints" are also included.

This is the album. I can't imagine that there are so few albums, at least I can't find much in LD, maybe I'm looking wrong?
