You must be an association/ paid member to do so.

Yes - I can see your stuff now.

No - I won´t share my opinion on any of your pieces because I´m fed up and tired of people using this splendid forum as their personal milkcow.

I pay for my membership annually and it has turned out to be a wise investment.

Defo go ahead and buy a membership, $25 well spent. What I can say without going in to details is you have a mixture of pretty basic and low value items there.

Hi,

Took a quick look and think all are ok. As Jon said it are not the most valuable or rare items, but originality is something that is today not something obvious anymore that one can take for granted on forehand. So, as a new collector you did well. Congrats on your new treasures. It's a nice start to build a collection and most of us probably started with lesser items than these.

best regards,
Gaston

Can only agree.....real stuff but very basic, all "low end of the scale".... stuff.

Man, tough crowd - as has been said, all appear original. Too bad the attachment on the party pin was horribly re-attached with solder or something.

Hi Marbury,

Welcome among us! As has already been said, these are not rare items, though they are all apparently original to the period. Congratulations,

Br. James

welcomish?

I don't blame those not wishing to enlighten as I am a coin guy who took a punt on the items. That is fine and I respect it. I hope to find them a home where the owner appreciates them....though I was hoping that a ball park figure for all 10 might be forthcoming.....just didn't want to be ripped off......thanks anyway (tough crowd).....lol

**schönbeck** · 05-03-2014, 02:29 PM

the most expensive is the Party hat eagle 50-60, else all are 10-30 usd items.

**Mainemilitaria** · 05-03-2014, 03:43 PM

I'd pay $50./60.00 (about half of "retail value") if they walked into "my" flea market.... where I deal only in militaria. It's a lot you would need to have bought right unless you were truely a newbee collector... and wanted them for yourself.

Yes, tough crowd but this is Not something for the unknowing to "dabble in" unless willing to pay the price.... (if the party pin wasn't repaired, one eagle broken, etc. would be alittle "better".... but not much)...sometimes works out well (takeing a shot in the dark) but usually turns out badly. At least everything is original.

Certianly wish you well... hopefully you can "break even" at worse.... on the lot. Depends on the original price (or investment)

"if they walked into "my" flea market"
Wish you were by me, at your valuation we would be doing a lot of business.
