Cold War Artifact - Button from "Red Woodstock!"

[UnderMiner]

One of the more interesting antiques I pulled out of the pile of junk I've been sorting through.
It's from some event held in East Germany ("DDR") in 1973.


It reads "Fur Antiimperialistische Solidaritat" "1973 Berlin, Hauptstadt DER DDR"

Just did some research and discovered it is from a Soviet/East German event the West nicknamed "Red Woodstock".
It's of extremely shabby construction - very telling of its origin from resource-deprived East Germany. I wonder if it's worth anything.


Here is a cool website about the event its from:

This is a unique find. If it's that shabbily made, maybe not many left and it's highly collectable ??

lets see a 'group shot' of all the junk - Im good at picking out seemingly worthless things that are worth a lot (I just sold a 30 year old Scope mouthwash bottle for 22 bucks...for example)-
