Does anyone collect PIN's (1 Viewer)

[Aleš]

I remmember people used to collect pins....now days almost no one collect them...I am not sure if anyon eis still make them...before all big company's make them, football teams, red cros (if you give them blood they give you pin),.....i remember almost every house have a few pins....but now it is hard to see anyone still collect them or at least have them. WHAT HAPENED WITH THE PINS?
People still collect stamps, coins, militaria,....but how about pins?
Do you have them?

Where did you get them/buy them?
Are you interested to trade them for a toysoldiers?
I have some old toysoldier i bu yin Vienna (it seems like a good idea at the time haha), but i do not really know nothing about them...One is a Mongol and the other is a landknecht or something with the long spear. They are both kind of old like 30+ year sor more, i do not know the compan ywho make them , the person who sale them to me say they are from Russia....they are very nice painted. Since i collect WBritains i have no use for them....Can you show me the photos of your pins? if you give me your email adres i can send to you some photos of this soldiers

Actually, I try to get a pin wherever I go- especially if it is military or history related.

Yes of course. But the main question is:

-are they still avaliable?

I remmeber back in the days you can buy them everywhere, companys giv ethem for free as a comercial for their busines, if you go to some society like hunters, firemans,....they all giv eyou the pins, or you can buy them at their shop etc,....but how i sthat today. I sthere still pins in shops?
How many pins about militaria or history did you collect so far?

I would trade them but the soldiers you have are not something I collect.

I have the following:

Champions League Stage from Arsenal and another team in 2001/2002
Barcelona
Arsenal
Espanyol (second club in Barcelona)
Two others (don't recognize the team)

I have around 16, most of them have only sentimental value. However, I have one that is a very small enamel FFL (Forces Francais Libre) pin, which is an original, and a gold and enamel French Coq Galois, which I bought for $10, only to realize it was 18 carat gold and made by Cartier.

well i have some other soldiers also, but most of them i collect so i can not give you.... i have some from WBritain i do not collect like the mounted Queen, The Henrik VIII and his 6 wives,...
Anyway i am not interested in pins, only metal pin badge (Which are diferent) and i decide i will not collect football clubs because every one else collect them...i will collect Pepsi, ( every one else collect Coca Cola haha) and TRANSPORT (delivery trucks) no matter which company....it can be Coca Cola also haha.
