Anyone know what this pin was used for??

Found this old pin years ago in Colorado near a crumbling farm house. The front is yellow with a red edge and a black arched line. It appears to be baked enamel. Pin is either brass or copper? Not even sure if the pin is facing up correctly in the photo. Size as compared to a quarter.

Me too. There were glass threads and other glass that could be fired in the school kiln. That was great fun!
