Default 1929 Certified's Ice Cream Cubs Pins

New member here - I am enjoying browsing around, reliving history a bit.

About 35 years ago, I helped a friend clean out the home of her elderly relative, recently deceased, on the north side of Chicago. For helping out, my friend told me to fill up a bag full of anything I wanted. The house was a treasure trove of Chicago history and collectibles, including lots of Cubs-related items. Apparently, the woman had been a life long Cubs fan (I know the affliction all too well myself), and I picked up some things from the 20's, 30's and 40's. Among the best of these were three of the five Certified's Ice Cream pins: Kiki Cuyler, Riggs Stephenson, and Rogers Hornsby. I've attached photos. (I also picked out a ticket stub from game 3 of the 1932 World Series - the 'called shot' game.)

Having collected a lot of things over the last 40 years or so, I've now decided it is time to sell what I can, and so I have started to divest. I understand these pins are pretty rare, but I can't really get a fix on their actual value. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

John
