Definitely US Air Force Cap

Definitely US Air Force Cap Device.

Here is a sample.

Just google air force cap device and hit images, you can see plenty of examples.

Hope this solves the mystery :-)

Possibly US Army Air Force

Possibly US Army Air Force ??
If yours is the same and it is that old.
Hmmm...now you have my curiosity up. I think I'll research a bit.

I agree - US Air Force dress hat emblem

I have one on my hat in my attic from more than 50 years ago.13 stars above the eagle. Post on the back to push through the hat fabric and attach a spring clip to hold it in place. No idea how long they were or are used.

I believe it is a hat device

I believe it is a hat device from the U.S. Air Force. If you look at the back, it may reveal more.
