Found at 1901 site on my lunch break. Maybe the father was stamping his sons badges

it may very well be a toy, just offering another possibility. the date lines up with your site though.

It’s got some thin line engravings along the outer edge, don’t know if that means it’s more one thing than another

I found the same aluminum shield a few weeks ago. Thinking it was painted with a product logo and affixed to something.

I think that says junior, so a junior police or fire badge is what you may have

Nice! On this badge I can see the word 'JUNIOR' so I believe it was a Junior G-Man badge from the late 1930s-1940s.
Anyway, it was a Junior-something!
EDIT- As I just saw Nathan said!
