Celluloid Pin measures about 33mm. Added reverse scan 27flagrev.webp that just shows toning & no marks of maker on reverse or rim. What is it?

I believe it come's from a celebration of sort's( 4th. of july,Flag day,Etc. ),It is not electorial...Is it a paperback?(makers tag) i have seen similar for "Lucky-Lindy" but i'm pretty sure this is NOT from that as all were marked as such,I.E.,Lindbergs solo,record,etc.48 star's put it in an era but a wide one.Very cool pin!!! If i find any positive I.D. i'll be sure to let you know...HAPPY HUNTING ALL:thumbsup:!!!

my opinion is that it was intended for wear on Veteran's Day

I'll also add that I believe it dates from the early to mid 50's. (back when it was cool to be patriotic, and the display of our flag didn't offend every crybaby in the world)
