Does anyone know what this is worth and possibly a year range it was made. Looks older but not sure. Thanks!

I've seen a bunch of them through the years.  They are rare, in that not everyone has one, but it is certainly collectable.  I think you did good at $20...not sure what the top end might be.  Nice find !!  :occasion-xmas:

Looks like 'pot metal' construction?  Wonder why not brass/bronze?  Wouldn't chip like that one has.

Guess the bean counters were at work.

Not to go at Jeff, but these were dealer promotions.  It really doesn't matter it they are Gold or Pot Metal...they are collectable.  I know some of the members have these, let's see what they have to say.  I'm guessing $50, but that is a guess.  It is still a Nice Find.  :occasion-xmas:  I think Jeff wants it.  :confusion-confused:  :banana-linedance:

Collectable stuff for Garden Tractors actually goes the gambit.  Matchbooks, tie clasps, model semi-trailers, plastic replicas of RJ's, flags, pennants, cigarette lighters, radios...you name it...this stuff is out there.  Wait and see who comes in here to validate what you found.  :occasion-xmas:

Well it looks like mine originally sold for $7.59 I’m not sure what I paid for it because it was so long ago. I don’t even remember where I got it from? I just know it was a long time ago and they came out in the mid eighties with the maroon stripe tractors. If you notice the color scheme is the same. I wear my very rarely and put it back in the package when I’m done. I’d have to say they are worth around $50 bucks today. Not sure how many are around, but mine is NFS!!

I don't exactly remember, but I think I paid around $25 for the one I have and I wear quite often.

I have one I got for $ 2.00 it's missing the loop on the back to hold the belt though. When I bought it I planned on making one for it but never did. Nothing I own is NFS except my dog Jeffrey. Not sure where I put it but I know I have one.
