That looks familiar. Wasn't that a pendant they kept cremated remains in? I recall someone finding something like this last year.

That is an Orphan Annie sundial with compass. It was an Ovaltine premium from 1939.

Nice ID Tony. Now, I wasn't alive in 1939 to remember that. ;)
Interesting find. Good the back side has that detail still left.
