A couple of find from Mississippi

[Old River]

Found these on my Father in Laws old home place in Pascagoula Mississippi. The War Service Badge I'm sure came from the ship yard there in Pascagoula. I has numbers stamped into the back of the badge. Possibly the employee numbe in the employee wearing the badge. My father N Law worked there during this time..I have no Idea who owned the Detective badge. It dates back to 1890. Hope you enjoy.

those are both great looking pieces of history !!
The badge itself dates back from as early as 1890.
Is yours 1.5 x 1.25 ?
I saw the same badge on PI Vintage badges.

The History oozes from those two badges.

The ship building Badge/Brooch is Awesome and says here,

is WWI.
That era suits the design of the ship, for sure

My Father in Law lives in Pascagoula as well. I may have to pay them a visit soon.

I might add:
to, my amateur War Historian mind
The Ship Building Badge, will have been worn with Huge Pride and Rightly So
