Clint,

The real value of the paper is the critical information revealed by it. I don't collect paper items, but this is a real gem from a historical perspective. I have been reading old newspapers on microfiche to learn about information that helps me solve some pinback mysteries. The fact that your paper is NOT from a newspaper makes it all the more miraculous that you have it. Newspaper inserts do not get entered into microfiche. Here is a rare case of the pins being more plentiful than the insert that explains their origin. It is likely the only surviving specimen. Thank you for the offer, nonetheless. It would make for a fabulous display if matted and framed with the corresponding set of pins.

Thanks again for sharing this amazing find.

Paul
