✅ SOLVED Trying to ID This Fob

Anybody recognize this? The one symbol resembles the 3 pointed Mercedes star but it is actually more of an pointed arrow shape. The crest has many heraldic symbols depicted. Acorns, a spur with wings, a scythe?, an oil lamp and a carpenter's square.

Coincidentally, I just looked up a 1st squadron, 17th Air Calvary pin for another member. The stirrup with wings if their emblem.

You just have to narrow down which unit of the 17th Cavalry Brigade may have used three acorns? Quartermaster's?

The left insignia is actually an Oldsmobile Winged Spur Insignia...... Still looking for the right hand insignia

The Winged Spur appeared on such vehicles as the 1934 Oldsmobile Six Touring Coupe complete with "trunk, built into the body." In 1939, Oldsmobile would introduce 1940 models with the industry's first fully automatic transmission.

Huh! That winged spur gets around!

Thanks. I found that last night too. The V logo appears to belong to the Oldsmobile Viking which was only made for a few years between 1929 and 1931 with only a little over 7000 being made. mostly in 1929 and 30. Nice! The car is rare so I guess the fob is too.

The back is marked Metal Arts Co. Rochester, NY. I did find a reference to them in a 1928 Boy's Life magazine so that's good.
