Thrift shop find

[jhamner]

I found this little Ohio "badge" today among some old brass buttons and other small trinkets at a local thrift shop. I would really like to know the age and use of this piece if anyone could help me! Thanks!


P.S. The word on the back that's hard to read is "bronze".

There is a link to the Ohio state seal on an old piece I found. That’s the best I can help with. Nice find!! http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/477447-old-ohio-badge.html

I found this today and thought it was interesting!
The coat of arms of the state shall consist of the following device: a circular shield; in the right foreground of the shield a full sheaf of wheat bound and standing erect; in the left foreground, a cluster of seventeen arrows bound in the center and resembling in form the sheaf of wheat; in the background, a representation of Mount Logan, Ross county, as viewed from Adena state memorial; over the mount, a rising sun three-quarters exposed and radiating thirteen rays to represent the thirteen original colonies shining over the first state in the northwest territory, the exterior extremities of which rays form a semicircle; and uniting the background and foreground, a representation of the Scioto river and cultivated fields.

Very cool find.
Reminds me of a cap badge.

Nice hat/cap badge.

My first thought was something on the end of a spoon. People use to collect a spoon from each state they'd been to. Maybe they still do. Then I saw what looks like wire in the bottom left corner and where another might have been on the bottom right. My guess is now charm bracelet but home you get positive I.D. Nice find. Good luck.
