Hey laplander, what part of the country was it found in?

Maybe on the right trail, Laplander... a Congregational Sunday School pin that is similar. Probably would have been enamelled like the sample beside it.
The same pins were used in a number of protestant churches, Methodists, Baptists, Congregational, etc, typically with the name of the denomination as opposed to the name of a particular church. So thinking the "P" in PCSS is not a city name Papillion or the like, but a denominational branch such as Pilgrim Congregational SS.
The only thing, in a quick look about, any of the sunday school pins I've seen online, and the ones we had as kids, all have religious symbols, the cross and crown and such, while yours has just the initials.... But that could possibly be a choice of the denomination, particularly if they had roots in the puritan movement, which the Pilgrim Congregational Church did....?
Great find, Jeff! HH, hope this helps.

Sorry, need to clean my glasses CPSS not PCSS... doh.
A Cumberland Presbyterian Sunday School pin, (CPSS) but with the lack of any religious symbols on your pin like on every example of sunday school pins posted on ebay and elsewhere, not convinced this is on the right track...
