Old Russian Pins in a free box on side of road

[AwakenYouthful]

So i pulled a Uturn on my way to the farmers market this morning to pick up a labelled free box at the end of someones driveway. There was various junk inside, hangers, tupperware, and a ziplock bag with these pins and an old russian towel.

It was a random find for what else was with it in the box.

This worth anything for selling? I'm curious about the pins history and story if anyone knows something.

Thanks.

too bad Nahabit doesn't stop in any more,
He could probably give you a general idea of their cost over there.

I have a few of them thanks to him sending me some as a gift, but that's a Very Nice Collection !

I wonder what motivated them to just give them out like that.

I just bought two Russian political pins last month. I believe one has a commemorative date of 1979 (I gave them as a present so I can't verify). I gave around $7 a piece for them. I would easily say you could get $100-150 if you are able to part them out.

That's one heck of a score.
It definitely pays to stop at those "free" spots. You just never know.

Here's some of mine that were attached to a Russian side cap (Pilotka). There's 60 of them attached on it. Not as many as you got for free. I have a couple dozen more now since then, but they are in a box somewhere.

Yes, Air Force, Motorized Rifles and Communications. I know they are not correct but it was free more or less at a garage sale.
