I can't help you identify these, but you'll have better luck in your own searches if you do not call them pins.  They have fold-over metal tabs instead of pins so use the search term(s) "admission badge" or "admission tab".

 

Like these:

Re: Arnold Palmer 1960 pins help

they are prize tokens for some sort of contest.  I would suppose one would try the match the 'left' and 'right' half of the prize to win.  have no idea who ran this giveaway.
