My Oom Frans gave me a box filled with lots and lots of stick pins. Each pin represented a product in Holland or surrounding areas. Some included were of American Products and Cars, i.e., Chevrolet, Ford, etc. John F. Kennedy, Jaqueline Kennedy.
If I remember correctly, the pins were provided in a product that was purchased at the market.
Can you help by giving me feedback on the true stick pin story, where and when it originated. Are they worth anything? Bedank allemaal!! (yes, was I good on my spelling?)

Do you mean pins like these? I remember my teacher giving them to us to collect in the early 80's if we had done chores for him in elementary school. I remember that he said you could collect them in boxes of washing detergent. It became a real collectors item for a while and people still do, they sell them on e-bay. They don't have much value, though.

Like Punky says check with e-bay because like everything it depends on how old they are or if the were made for a very special occasion and thus rare. Good luck.
Yes you did very well on your spelling.
Niets te danken.
