I found this small pin in a box of estate items and am curious to know what/where it's from. It may be military as many of the other items in the lot are, but there were also some Polish/Catholic related items as well as some 1940's CIO/Autoworkers items. Anyone here have a clue what the pin is referring to?

Cool item! The symbol in the center is Faith (Cross) - Hope (Anchor) & Charity (Heart). Probably some type of religious item. Is the front of the pin enamel? What does the back look like? Any markings on the back?

Thanks for the information about the center! The front looks like enamel and the reverse has a screw on back that is brass with a thin gold overlay. It does have a marking, but it is very small. It appears to be the capital letters R and I overlapping with two small c's one on each side. |
