went out for a while and found my first indian head penny, 1899. also found a pin that appears to be for a delegate for a convention and a 1936 Chief operative Melvin purvis badge from Post Toastie cereal box top giveaway.
JJG there are several types of the Melvin Purvis badge.
I think the one that you found cost quite a few more box
tops than the "agent" or "inspector" version. Nice job.
