[QUOTE="Eric Tipton, post: 9505414, member: 9899"]Thanks for all the help and thoughts. I'm in western Massachusetts, so they are more than likely not from my area. Scout badges is an interesting idea, but I think they are bit too well made and ethnic to be that. I'm fairly certain they are a type of leather or dried animal hide. A few months back, I had a little handmade trinket box made of the same material from the late 1800's, and at first I thought it was just some kind of pressed wood, but after some research I found it was indeed dried out leather. The crow and sunface are definitely what threw me off the Native American idea... I can understand the sun, but not really the crow. My only other guess would be Mexican, but I'm still very curious to know what they were used for. As for changing the pictures to a full image, I can't seem to find any edit buttons anywhere but I tried![/QUOTE]
