Hi everyone! First time posting! Hoping this is the right forum! I found these trinkets at the American Pickers store in Nashville! Would love to know if anyone knows what they are and I am especially intrigued to know more about what appears to be something associated with West Point!

The BSV looks like my old high school senior key, we wore around our necks on a chain back in the day. Not my School though.

I guess you picked the pickers...LOL we all do at one time or another, although not Mike and Frank :)

Definitely a HS key.

 

The other pieces are so small I would say that they are devices for Sweat Heart pins and or shooting medals.

the parachute might be the front piece from an unofficial airborne branch of service collar disk that were worn by some post war.

can we see the back?

The 244th Coast Artillery pieces look like sweetheart jewelry. Look too small to be regular officer's collar brass, and no red enamel in the center.

Ditto, and they're listed on the correct forum too

 

LAPEL BUTTONS (DISCHARGE & RETIREMENT FOR CIVILIAN CLOTHES)

Sorry for the late response! Thanks for all the input! I will get a picture of the back of the parachute when I get home from work today. It has hand etched initials in it which I think is so cool. Didnt even notice them until I got home!

The first one looks like a school, honorary society or fraternity pin.

 

In the 40's and 50's, sometimes young ladies would be given one to wear by their significant other.
