Old whistle and jewelry piece?

[Tykit]

My buddy found these last month. The item on the right is bronze (pine cone and flowers?) with a pin on the back for attaching to clothing. He thinks it's military, I say no. Any ideas?

The B.G.I. Echo 620 whistle was based on a design patented on May 23, 1893.

Nice whistle... that's a sweet tweet!

Your friend thinks the flower pin is military?    From the "Don't ask - Don't tell" brigade?

It's a nice pin, but I know that it doesn't have anything to do with the military.
