The caption of this Ebay ad reads:

'30s Best Ever Secret Service Premium Badge Dairy Bread'

"Shown is an original 1930s "BEST EVER SECRET SERVICE" premium. It is well struck and has a 6 point badge shape. An embossed likeness of a young boy is in the center. This badge measures about 7/8" across, and it has a nice aged patina. There is a stud on the back."
Unfortunately, there is no pic shown, but this description reads like your artifact appears.

This is probably from one of the 1930ish radio talk shows. Search there for ID I believe.
