  “Sometimes I forget what I bought.” 😂😂 I can relate.  Now, I print out every receipt then check them off when they arrive.

  The pin reads &quot;Cambria County Sesquicentennial, Brothers of the Brush, August 15-21, 1954&quot; commemorating the 150th anniversary of the formation of the Brothers of the Brush - just shy of five months from the establishment of Cambria County, PA (which was actually created on March 26, 1804). I believe the Brothers of the Brush was a house painters guild in the tradition of the Masons.<br><br>The giant safety pin is for wool skirts or kilts.

  I bought a junk drawer &amp; there was a Bob Dylan badge / pin in it from a movie he made which was due to show in Australia. It said the name of the film &amp; “Valhalla” which was the name of the theatre. Bob cancelled, so not many were made . <br>I sold it to a lady in Norway who is a Dylan collector. Valhalla means heaven in Norse . So that pin has gone from the bottom of the world to the top, to someone who loves it &amp; has 2 connections to it when it shouldn’t even exist really 😁

  To be fair it is called a junk lot for a reason. Can&apos;t be too upset when that&apos;s what it turns out to be. Also you can&apos;t always assume the seller is the one who damaged an item

  The worst seller I&apos;ve encountered was who accepted my offer for a lot but sent me less items. The missing items were exactly the items I was interested in.<br>I don&apos;t know what happened, the seller accepted the price and then regretted when going through the lot??? Or maybe they thought I wouldn&apos;t bother to return a $10 order?<br>I was beyond speechless for the situation.

  There are certain times when you don&apos;t want to ask questions...like if you see something worth the asking price and don&apos;t want to tip your hand.<br>You don&apos;t want to seller to see that the $100 item is worth $500 and cancel.<br>Otherwise ask questions.

  I agree that testing for silver or gold shouldn&apos;t ruin the object, there are better ways to test. That&apos;s too bad. It&apos;s a fun junk lot, though. You could probably get $15 each for the Super Bowl coins, recouping your money, and resell some of the other objects together as a junk drawer lot. It&apos;s a fun, eclectic batch. I love the &quot;key to success&quot;, and the random mysterious pins. The roadrunner belt buckle might be attractive to a southwestern collector.
