Railroad collectible

[pbillend]

I collect Railroad collectibles, and I recently purchased at auction 3 service pins in a lot of Railroad collectibles that I don't know anything about. 
They are 3 service pins, 1 10 year, 1 15 year, & 1 25 year, and the they all have Fred Harvey on them, which supposedly was a restaurant that was associated with the Sante Fe Railroad.  Do you know anything about this restaurant, and what the  value of these pins would be?  The 10 year and 15 year pins are Sterling Silver, while the 25 year is 10K gold.

There are collectors of Fred Harvey memorabilia, not many that I am aware of but they are out there. This would also be a cross collectible with RR memorabilia.

Here is info on the Harvey Girls http://www.oerm.org/pages/Harveygirls.html and info on the Fred Harvey Restaurants - http://www.harveyhouses.net/

If the items are marked sterling silver I would price them at $25 each with the gold one being 20.

Fred Harvey and his enterprise are very interesting and a great piece of American history.

I might know someone interested in purchasing these if you want to sell them.... send me photos to show to her along with your prices.
