Dug this today at the 1908 home I have been hunting. I have had no luck pinpointing a date or time frame for it. Any help will be much appreciated. It appears to be made of copper.

Could be tough to date accurately. They still sell this type of pin, with a slight design change in the cloverleaf. This one is probably a first year member pin, although the design was also used as first place pins for achievements. The link I have points to a first year bronze pin, and they have silver and gold versions as well.

The local chapters must have been able to order them with the State name at the bottom, as the website only lists the generic pins.

What I did find is that the first official Washington club started in 1912, which is also the year they formally adopted the 4 leaf clover design, and the 4 h's stand for head, heart, hands, and health.

Here's a timeline link for just the Washington State University Chapter. http://4h.wsu.edu/centennial/timeline.htm
