Anyone want to try to identify what these are

So I am helping a friend clean out the contents of his dads estate and came across these. I have a 50lb bucket of them. All in individually sealed packets. Too big for a lapel pin. Note the threaded stud on the back. Many different universities. All same size, same stud.

Use to see them on mostly alumni's vehicles bumpers etc. during there reunions....Mason and Shriners at one time also display them.

That may as well be their motto today.

Probably worth some money on e-bay. If nothing else the brass is worth some with the copper stud brazed on it.

Campus police uniform cap badges.

Value $3 each.

Thanks,
Are you sure, or just a guess?
Reason I have doubt is if the policeman’s cap badge was hit hard enough, it would fracture his skull. The stud is at least a 1/2” long.

If he writes a check, he is certain.

I have a moderate size military cap badge collection. If you had the original knurled nuts which back the threaded studs value might be $5 to $6 each. On an average day there are around 1,600 cap badge auctions evolving on eBay. Many auctions display both sides of the badge offered.

I am sure you have cap badges. Campus police is an educated guess.

I am sure you have cap badges. Campus police is my best guess.

I may have them in the bucket. I have not looked thoroughly. I have probably 50 pounds of them I’d like to sell.
