Got some cool "Certified Craftsmen" pins and other knicknacks given to me.

I run the service department at a Chevy/former Caddy dealer (we just gave our dealership back to "gm" ), and our sister store is a VW dealership.  Well the service manager had a guy come in offering him some old Volkswagen manuals and other stuff that was his father's because he was just going to toss it all out.  Apparently the fella's dad was a Cadillac technician back in the '50s-'60s, because mixed in all the VW stuff was this collection of "Certified Craftsmen" pins, a "Service Manager" pin, 1962 medallion, along with a matching set of 1960 cufflinks and tie pin.  After looking at eBay and doing a little research, I know these aren't especially rare or valuable, but thought it was a pretty good haul of random stuff I wasn't expecting to have come into my life.  Some pics:

Nice set. I think I've only seen that many in one place one other place.

I have a nice 1957 Craftsman tie bar that I bought when I had my 57.  I love it.
