The guy that installed our DaTech Fire system brought by these pins today for me to look at. Are any of them worth more than a couple bucks? I can't find them in the SCBC so I'm hoping someone here is familiar with them. There have been a few sales on eBay but not many.

    Hi Chris

    When do you date them to? Late 60's?

    I'd say they are worth something to pin collectors, probably 5.00 each at the least if they are a 60's issue.

    If they are an 80's item not that much.

    Good for you.

    Steve ... based on what I saw on eBay it looks like they are from '66.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    We had a few in the old Uhaul thread. Couldn't give them away. Think I sold them as a 4 pin lot for $9 dlvd.

    These are from '65 and '66 (they are dated on the back and were apparently made from '64-'66). I think they're very cool. The guy who owns these gave me one of the Cardinals pins for my collection. I wouldn't mind having the entire set.
