Thrift Store Shield with Crown and Six-Pointed Star - Sweater or Cloak fastener?

[dottiedee]

I am a thrift store treasure hunter, more interested in unique things than value. I found this interesting item recently and thought it might be a sweater keeper. I haven't been able to identify the crest. Any information will be appreciated. dottiedee

I sent an email to the Jewish Museum, along with the photos, and learned that it is a Tallit clip. A Tallit is a prayer shawl that men wear in synagogue.
