Hi guys, my buddy found this Founders Week Badge
last week with his ACE 250. We were wondering what
it is and where it came from. I looked it up on Google,
but only found other shaped badges, none of them
were like this one. Thank You for any information
you can give us. HH, Ringfinder
P.S. I'm also including a Lutherin Pin that I found
at the same site. I have been told the S S stands
for Sunday School. All and all at this site so far we
have found 5 indian head pennies, 22 wheaties, 1 rosie dime,
1 mercury dime, and 3 dog tags, dated in the 1950's and 1 silver quarter
Needless to say we are going back SOON!

As alluded to, the top pin is a Lutheran Sunday School pin, most commonly given for (perfect) attendance. Assuming the piece is not dated my best guess would be 1940's-1950's at the earliest.

And as you may have guessed, the second item is a commemorative item from Philadelphia's Founders' Week (October 4-10, 1908) and features William Penn.
