    Yeah, I have no clue on this piece.

    Anyone have any info? Most times I don’t know how else to Google the obvious and get positive results.

    Peace.

    With what look to be a lamp of learning, open book, and owl all represented, I believe it may be an academic award of some sort. I'm not used to seeing the cornucopia associated with academics, so if it IS academic, I don't know the reason it's there.

    Someone else here very well might!

    I wonder if a ribbon was attached via the two holes at the bottom?

    It sure is full of symbolism.
    Crown, shield, lamp, eagle, delta, book/bible, cornucopia, what flower/leaf is that- lily of the valley?

    Yeah. Hmm? I never really wondered about that until now.

    May not have been a ribbon (at least not one made of fabric.) I have a number of multi-piece pins that belonged to grandparents and great grandparents that have metal "ribbons" hanging down from the main pin - in series, as additional achievements were acknowledged.

    I think that’s helpful. A ladder pin, maybe good term to add in searching. :)

    All y’all are awesome! I probably never would’ve found any of this info myself this early into my collecting phase of life. Thanks. I’m gonna ask the aunts and parents if any of this new info jogs their memories to how we came to have it.
