Safe Driving awards Small Pins with diamonds

[textat3]

I have 20+ years of safe driving awards. I recently opened 1 of them up and saw a small pin made of gold with 2 extremely tiny diamonds in it. Anyone here know much about what the value of something like that would be…..not it it’s current form, but like if I took 25 of these into an “I buy gold” shop….would I get $50 bucks for them or more like $400. I will probably just toss all these things….dont really know why I ever kept them in the first place.

Those diamond chips are pretty much worthless. At least it was something as a reward.

After 30 years, you get FOUR extremely tiny stones (I refuse to call them diamonds) on every pin.

I agree….cant really call them diamonds….I will probably pull them all out and take them to a place that buys gold just to see…..I would like to think they might be worth 5-10 a piece..

Definitely post back when you do. I'd like to know what they say.

Really don’t know what the point of these safe driving awards/ years of service awards is….why they even act like they care……

I threw all that clutter out. I did keep the UPS watch.

They did care a little bit at one time.

At one time we also got some pretty nice things from a catalog in addition to the little trinkets.

A few years ago I took a handful of old jewelry to the local gold dealer and got a few hundred bucks out of it. At that time I also showed him the safe driving pins with the diamond chips in them---he said they were worthless.

Over the years I received 2 TV's and a nice set of lawn furniture. There really was
some quality stuff back in the day in those catalogs.

We used to get a wallet every other year also. They were actually pretty nice wallets.

I had a drawer full of those wallets that had never been used.

I'm still using one and have one new one left.
