    Hey Dave, it's a Radio Orphan Annie Decoder Badge from Ovaltine lol I shouldn't laugh, they can be pretty pricey sometimes Seems they made them for a number of years in the 30's and maybe newer too. E bay has them all over. Here's yours:

    Nice couple of silvers and wheats too.

    Great silver and wheats Dave.

    The Orphan Annie decoder badge is great... I found one sort of similar earlier this year.

    Congrats.
