It looks like something that you might of had to save box tops of cereal and send them in for the prize. You might Google box top prizes from the 50’s?

I grew up in the 50s, I never saw anything like it.

Some of the vintage airline pins have one wing like this one appears to. Might want to check those out.

Could it be an Art Deco pin for a hat.

At first look it reminded me of an early gas station emblem??

My thoughts also, something Art Deco or Art Nouveau.

It looks a little like a flight attendant pin too. Here are more on ebay (you have to scroll down):

This one is from Family Airlines:

and from Pan Am:

edit: just found these:

I haven't found yours though, maybe it is a child's version or super hero version like suggested above.

Thank you, Mindless, for your searches. The orig owner of the button box is long deceased, but I'm sure she was not associated w/an airline (almost sure!). However, she could have picked the pin up somewhere. "Tis a mystery", but thanks to the internet and all you wonderfully helpful people, I hope to find the answer.
