rod-pa Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Found this in a vacant lot where the coins have been mostly 1910 to 1965 or so. Any ideas? Seems like a pin, or what looks like 2 broken pin anchors. Feels like cast; it's heavy. Merc for size 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Little big for a typical pin. Is it zinc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Looks like an USA military cap badge going by it shape W x H and size. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 It's not US military issue. It could be a WWI or WWII era patriotic brooch or pin, or military retirement pin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod-pa Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 it is heavy...a cast item, i think with a most gone plating, that shows a bit on the back. I also think it is not military, and more along the lines of patriotic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Might be leaded pewter. Zinc usually bubbles up. Probably cast with a rubber mold on a centrifugal casting machine maybe 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
