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

Then it's worth 5 anyway, so it's not nothing

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

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.

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

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.
