Could the letter on the far left be a highly stylized "H"? Art Deco era designs can be almost abstract at times. My guess would be a High School (H.S.) pin. Now, who is B.G.?

From what state did you get the pin?  I am in Ohio, so I am thinking Bowling Green High School.

Could be right.  I didn't think of high school.  Been looking at Bowling Green.  Thanks.

I don't really know what state - got this from past family members.  That's a good guess though.  I was thinking of Bowling Green, but not the high school.

I agree with palmtreelucky that it's H.S. and B.G. could be Bowling Green.   There is a Bowling Green HS in Kentucky.    The pin belonged to someone with the initials J.E.P.   If you can get a hold of the 1926 yearbook, you might find JEP.   Or is that someone in your family?

I don't have an identification for you but I'd just throw in a word of caution about assuming what the letters BG stand for.   For example:   If you live in Central PA, as I do, BGHS is Bishop Guilfoyle High School, and it's usually referred to as "BG."   "He taught at BG for awhile."     "Both of their boys went to BG."    And like that.  🙂
