Can anyone tell me anything about these two items? Aside from the obvious. The little one is a pin. Was looking for maybe an answer on how old it is. The Next one I am real curious about. I beleive it is a thunderbird. The back says " With thanks from the american indian children" A very neat find for me. Hopefully someone on here can tell me what it is. Thank you so much in advance.

The large one is a Thunderbird symbol and part of a key ring, The other is a Sunday school pin for the church.

Thank you lost causes, for the id. Thought maybe the thunderbird may have been a charm for a necklace. Never gave it a thought it could be a key chain. Thanks again.

This is what the whole keychain looked like. I cant find much about it online but it may be from Alaska.

Could I see a picture of the back of the pin? It looks like this one. http://gometaldetecting.com/jewelry4.html

The thunderbird was mailed in the 60's to elicit a donation. They sent letter openers, too.

The pin is 50's or 60's. We used to get them for perfect attendance (being raised a Methodist, myself, and knowing my brother earned several).
