    Looks like it might be an old Boy scouts pin to me.

    I think it might be a " Lace Pin "......... or a......... " Baby's Bib Pin " from the late 1800's

    It's hard to tell what the back/pin area looks like from the pic, but from what I can see, it's looks to be a Victorian Bar Pin generally worn at the neck of high collar dresses. They made a come back in the late 50s/early60s. Nice find, Breezie

    It looks to be only about an inch long at most compared to the dime for size reference.

    Whether it is 1 inch or 2 inches, it's still considered as a 'bar pin.' After revamping your pics, I do believe it is Victorian era. Nice find, Breezie

    Okay then. Maybe it was used on a baby dress or Christening gown. Nice find.
