Help with some Cubs Pins?

[Smanzari]

Bought a small collection of Chicago Sports Memorabilia and Cards but am stumped on the Pins as this is really the first time I've had them

Seeking a little help in identifying these? And/or tips on how to identify? Also what's the best way to protect these?

Thanks for the help!

The two smaller are probably from the 1960’s I think. There are probably newer ones that are similar but they would have “safety” pins. I think the larger one dates to 1988. As far as “protecting” them, they’re not really prone to damage so they can be stored or displayed however you want.

I do have have two more questions -- is the one with a ribbon just called "button with ribbon" or are they called something else? Also is it frowned upon if I clean up that fray with some scissors or am I supposed to just leave as-is?

Personally, I would snip that thread.
