Could this be a converted hat badge? Not many to be found. Was found at yard sale in Bar Harbor Maine. Very interesting as the entire town burned in 1947.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Yes if the center dot on the back is what is left of a screw post. No if that dot is solder coming out of a hole.

I just enlarged the picture and YES, the badge was originally a hat badge. Note the dot at 12 o'clock on the back which is where a spike was mounted to keep the badge from rotating when it was mounted through the hole in a hat by screw post and nut.
