Very nice relic find, congratulations! :occasion14:
 

That's sweet! I found a badge from a Fireman's Celebration... similar to yours. Apparently these souvenir badges were big during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It probably hung from a ribbon or pin, like this one from the net.

I love stuff like that. It's not mainstream but just as historical
 

Nice relic! It's great to be able to trace the history of items like that. Thanks for sharing.
