J. O'Brian Badge Company located in Madison. New Jersey. Appears they only produced avaitor wings during WW2. Anyone know of other insignia?

I recently acquired a US Navy grouping that had an interesting two-piece visor cap badge with a hard to read maker's mark. Through this forum and looking through the book "US Silent Service", it was found the maker's mark was that of J O'Brian Badge Company. What I have not been able to determine is if this is a "rare" maker's mark not typically seen?
