Hi, I have been trying to find out what these three objects are for several years. All three have fronts depicting what appear to be Catholic religious designs. They are about 3″ x 3″ and are metal. Two have pins that have no closure, just look like straight pins. The third has a thin solid metal piece across the middle of its back.This is my first attemp on this site and hope I have attached pictures that will help. Sorry, I can’t convert pdf file into required format to show picture-still hope someone can help.
Thanks for any suggestions.

The pin items appear to be lapel pins and the other a tie clasp…
However, I found little to no information on the Metal Arts company, except that it appears to be closed. Because the company did a lot of military pins, perhaps these had something to do w/ a particular religous sect or even the Masons or something. Good luck.
