I found this stick pin / hat pin in a field that was used to hold religious camp meetings from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. You will notice that he is wearing a scarf across the top of his head (the knot is on his right shoulder), head hung down, left wing drooping, and a bottle protruding from under his right wing. Obviously a drunk hoot owl. Could this have been a symbol for a temperence movement? Shown with the owl is a couple of other finds from the same site for size comparison. Any help will be appreciated.
