Default 1938 Cotton Bowl pin, Colorado Buffaloes

Hi all,

Wanted to ask about a CU pinback commemorating the 1937 team that went to the Cotton Bowl. I haven't seen any other similar pins other than a 1940 CU band day pin by the same manufacturer. According to my research, the company that produced this pin was the Colorado Badge and Novelty Co., they produced pins from the early 1900s until the 1940s. This would be significant as this was Colorado's first bowl team and vaulted Colorado onto the national stage of "big time" college football durning a time when bowl games were a pretty new concept as there were only five at that time. How scarce a pin would this be? Thanks and SKO BUFFS!
