Torch pin

Hello to all,
This was found where the ww1 engineering pin was found. The back piece is broken off.
Seems to be brass. Anyone seen one of these before.
Thanks for looking.

Yes, that is a WW11 ROTC Training Corps pin, or collar disc. I have found one myself. Neat military find.

Thank you both for the response. I need to hunt that place more as time is running out. It is under improvement.��

Great I.D. on the collar disc TH.

Nice find on the WWII relic alabama... at first first glance, I thought it was an old 'Olympic Torch Lapel Pin'.
Just throwing this out there... I wonder if this may be a souvenir from the 1932 Olympics?

1932 Summer Olympics - Los Angeles, California
Nations 37
Athletes 1,332 (1,206 men, 126 women)
Events 117 in 14 sports (20 disciplines)

The 1932 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the X Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event that was held from July 30 to August 14, 1932, in Los Angeles, California, United States. The Games were held during the worldwide Great Depression and some nations did not travel to Los Angeles; 37 nations competed compared to 46 in the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. Even U.S. President Herbert Hoover missed the Games.
