[QUOTE=rogue;560847]Absolutely not Randwick (assuming the one in Australia per google). She never lived more than a few miles from her birth place in Wisconsin.[/QUOTE]
I would look for towns around that area that start with R or had High Schools that started with R (some may be renamed). School pins were popular in the 1930's. After Uncle Adolph came to power the symbol in the middle would have fallen out of favour. So that may be a pin from an older generation. Ask your cousin about yearbooks and towns that the kinfolk lived in.

I know that it may not be couture to recommend offsite, but the folks on Reddit at r/whatisthisthing are incredible sleuths at identifying anything from valuable relics to miscellaneous tchotchkes. It might be work a shot.

:huh: ?

Perhaps you meant "kosher" ?

The high school does not have 'R' in it's name and the mascot/team does not have an 'R' in it either.

I'll ask my cousin to post on Reddit. Thanks for the hint.

I meant couture as a synonym for fashionable. Is that incorrect? :unsure:

Ok. Never really heard it before used as such. Always heard it in reference to actual fashion (clothing) related things only. Oh well, you live and learn :smile:

I'm definitely a better mathematician than languager so I really don't know.

[QUOTE=rogue;560855]That is the head of Liberty so you see the head and the arm with the torch.[/QUOTE]
Hmm. Looking at it now, I guess it is. Never occurred to me before. Fascinating. So, that's a [i]helmet[/i] on the head.

So the figure is [i]wearing a helmet[/i] and [i]holding a torch[/i]. Interesting combination. It might be probative.

A helmet or a crown.

I just can't decipher it. What for you? It is apparently from the Thule-Gesellschaft.
