    Thanks Mike for resizing the picture, I need to work on that. The back has what appear to be two small solder points.

    Usually, a real expensive dinner, and a lot of groveling. Kidding, Kinda. Found one very similar, at an 1940's school yard. mine still had the pin on the back, which promptly fell off when cleaning.
