When our Great Uncle passed his widow kept a few small items, after she passed these B of RT lapel pins were in her jewelry box. Is there much interest in these as collectibles?
There are people who collect such items. Just need to find them. If you have the story of his career, to go along with these, they are even more valuable as family (keepsake) heirlooms.
Thanks, His was not so much a colorful career. Switchman/brakeman in a refinery switchyard Wood River IL. ILL Central at the end of career which became the ICG.
Did some looking on collectable sites, these are actually fairly valuable, are 10K gold with hand laid enameling. I would have never considered. The oldest was the "T" style from the twenties, it is the least found of all them. A jeweler recommended keeping them for grandkids.
I've found a couple of Milwaukee Road at some local antique stores, some inexpensive. One was a 30 year pin, and a 15 year pin.
