I will probably just do a junk drawer lot with this stuff. I paid four dollars for it but I have no clue if anything is worthwhile or even how old it might be. There are some buttons and other things. just wondering if anybody thought there was anything special here. Thanks image-4277166601.webp image-3973623060.webp image-4196369138.webp To me the pins look older because they don't have the hooks that turn but I'm not really sure... image-2822407823.webp image-441837849.webp image-1073924993.webp

To be honest - I've done VERY well listing my WWI-vietnam items as a lot. Plus, it takes literally NO time to sell it this was....but in the back of mind I always wonder "is there a super rare piece in there?"
 
This stuff appears WW1 era to me. The screwback collar discs as well as the ribbons are from that era. I can ID a few of the ribbons for you. You have a 1911 Mexican service ribbon bar (green, yellow, blue), a certificate of Merit ribbon (loose blue, white, red, white), and a French Croix de Guerre WWI Service Ribbon (loose red, green). I don't see anything rare at a glance.
