[Help] Identifying old badges/antiques etc.

[nevergoagain]

Apologies if this isn't allowed, I was going to put in the bear pit until I realised it had gone. I've started a new antiques/vintage business and wanted to ask for help in identifying items as I come across them that I haven't been able to so far. I know some on here enjoy a little challenge, some might say all of us do following the albion. Anyway first one is a simple old tin badge I thought it might have been political or travel related but can't find the same one online anywhere.

Next is a little different. I think it's made of bone, a search said that it could be a "Flea Trap" whilst others say it's a needle case. The really strange thing is that if you look through the small hole at the top then you can just make out an old black and white picture of buildings which is contained within a tiny glass bead.

Oh! I've still got my Tiger Tims club badge from the 1950s. Am I rich?

Ta - I had been looking at that but couldn't find it. From eBay seems as though it's Scottish Conservatives Central Office. Cheers.

Well that started well. Next is an old one. Looks to me to be LPC but no idea what it stands for.

Has it got a stanhope lens in the end? Anyway it's a bone needle case, Victorian in age.

DVMSA - Not a clue on this one. Progressus meaning go forward so possibly education, an old college or something.

One more FGBS. Only thing I could find that loosely matches was fellow of genealogical and biographical society but I don't think that's it.
