Was out of town this week, but did manage to buy these pins for $7.

I like that Bethlehem Steel token. What's on the other side? You usually just see the tool check tokens with a hole in them. Nice find.
The Blue Heron pin is cool too, it was made by William Spear and sells for $16 new.

Great collection of pins.

Here is a pick of the back. There are quite a few on eBay but I think it's cool. Pretty amazing you identified the Spear pin from just the front.

The second brooch is an English Thomas L Mott from what I think is mid 30s (based on mark)

I see the token is a tool check. Unusual that it is a pin and not drilled out like all the others you see.
So the blue pin is a Morpho butterfly wing! I thought it looked like it but I've never seen a plain one. The wife has a couple pieces of butterfly wing jewelry but they show tropical scenes. She also found a large butterfly wing picture a few weeks back from the 20's-30's that has many types of butterfly wings depicted. Good scores on the Mott pin and the tool check!
