The Lone Ranger Victory Corps pin or badge was a premium issued in 1942 by Merita Bread, the Southeastern regional sponsor of the Lone Ranger radio series. The "Victory Corps" was a kids club boosting wartime patriotism as well as support of the program— "To promote victory responsibility, citizenship, safety, and health."

The pin was made of brass and had a fold-over tab on the back.

Packrat, your shell case is not a .44 Henry....too big for that. I took measurements off my screen,comparing them to the dime for size reference. Actual measurements from your case would help,but I get about .51" base diameter,and about 1 1/4" case length. The "H" headstamp was used by Winchester for their rimfire ammunition, and they made ammo for other firearms in addition to Winchester arms. So,it could be a .46 Long,for the Remington split breech rolling block rifle. Or it could be .56-50 Spencer,56-52 Spencer,or a 56-56 Spencer. Or a 52-70 Sharps rimfire. Or a .54 Ballard. Or a .58 Gatling gun.
Now,I have Ballard,Spencer,and Henry shell cases,and they all had square or rectangular firing pins,leaving marks that shape on the rims. Your shell case has round firing pin marks (your shell was struck twice,because of a mis-fire the first time). Sharps rifles had round firing pins......I don't know which other guns had round firing pins.
Here is a photo of some Henry shell cases for comparison.
If you can take measurements with a caliper,maybe I can help you with identification.

I recommend the book,"Cartridges of the World",by Frank C. Barnes/edited by M.L.McPherson. Published by DBI books,a division of Krause publications Inc.
This book has histories of each cartridge,lifesize illustrations,and a chapter listing dimensions of new and old cartridges.
I think it can be purchased from Dixie Gun Works. Their website offers MANY books.

I see that someone has already identified your Lone Ranger pin, but thought that you might like to see a better picture of the item. The one that I have, has a stain in the white background below the V, but it gives you an idea as to what the item looks like, including the bend over tab on the top.
Nice items, keep lookin..

The tag reminds me of a heel plate from a shoe
