🔎 UNIDENTIFIED 1800's Lime Kiln Brass

[payload77]

Hi all! Searched an old lime kiln property that had a few workers homes. Found a brass piece that looks like a brooch or a badge. The pin didn't have a hinge, but rather a slide. What am I looking at here? I'm also trying to find the maker's mark on this spoon, is it EJ Bass? Thanks for looking!
