No clue Eagle and stars

[BEVFD1113]

I found these a few feet apart at a early 1900s church. I think they are old but have no clue what i have. The back of the small piece has 61 or G1 on it and is the size of a guitar pick. The other looks like a really small lipstick container. Any help would be great. thanks

the eagle thing is a US Army E4 rank collar device. I'm not sure how old, but it is fairly modern

Does anyone know any history on the collar thing?

The "Specialist" grades were started in the mid 50's and used to run from E4 to E9, but today all but E4 have been discontinued as I recall, I'm not sure when they first made that collar device but it would have to be from the mid 50's til, now in manufacture.


(Also, the mark on the back is G. I.)

Did you find the wheat pennies with the other items?

No I found them at another cite. The pin and matchbox were found near each other in a early 1900s yard
