Crotal Bell, Canadian Propoganda pin?? and a Old French Button!

[OneWetKnee]

Hey all! I have a few curios I found on my last hunt on my family land. The Crotal Bell is a first for me, so I know very little about date.. any info would be welcomed. The second find was what i assume to be a lipstick tube.. no markings. The third is a tiny Maple Leaf Pin that says "Make Canada Prosperous By Buying Canadian Products" or i think thats what it says...im so curious as to when and why this was made.. Has anyone seen one or know what it was for? The fourth find of the day was this tiny french button that has 4 fleur de lis, and is open work with a one piece shank. It feels old and was quite deep. Do any of you button masters know what it is or date range possibly? *looks at Iron Patch for help*

Great hunt, man! That button looks old to me. Hopefully one of the guys will chime in. Keep 'em coming!

The Canadian pin/badge looks to me from around ww1. The shape of the leaf matches the general service badges of the time!

Yeah I was thinking the same period, maybe an early WW1 war bonds campaign pin?

It's a sweet find. I dug a wwi canada general service badge not to long ago. It was already bent in the ground so I left it that way. Scared to break it!
