Glad you like the gifts, we thought they suited you the first time we saw them.
We may have some interesting history on the pin found in Grandma Hren's button box. It looks very similiar to one Jan has of Mrs. McCoy, Aggies's friend. Mrs. McCoy was a "Ziegfeld Girl" in the 1920's. The pin we have of her was probably made at that time, as I suspect was the one you have of this mystery woman.
