    The boy scouts use a Fleur de Lis. Could the other graphic be a bugle?

    Hi,
    Looks like a Rams head.

    Interestingly, here's a Miriam Haskell pin with the same charges.

    And here's a variation on yours from Etsy. Think it might be decorative.

    That one looks newer, the back and the size plus the fluer de lis don't match RSCN5625.JPG

    It's also better quality.

    Hi, Kingjoker -

    I'm going to agree with Debora: yours is purely decorative, what crafters sometimes call "findings".

    There's an Etsy seller offering a bag of FORTY like yours for $2 + S&H. That seller says they're from the 1960's, but I think they're much newer. I bought a bag of very similar, tho not identical, bits less than 10 years ago to decorate the corners of a print I was framing for someone. They were made in China and were very cheap, tho nicely decorative.


    edited to add: Susan, that's the listing I saw, too!

    Sometimes these were used on purses or shoes.
