Antique Turkey and Wishbone Pin Thanksgiving World War One


Here is an item I came across recently that when I looked it up online, I couldn't find anything like it. 
This button has an image of a Turkey inside a wishbone. It also has what looks to be part of the American Flag running behind the image. The back of it has the name of a city, Madison, N.J. with Nov. 28, 1918 printed out. 

I did a little research on the emblem, and it was used in politics around this time period as a sign of bounty and good times ahead. I also looked up Madison, NJ and the history of the town to see if there was something important about that particular Holiday. I couldn't find anything. So the pin remains an enigma... But I did list it on Ebay. I started the bidding at $9.99. It did sell... All things said and done it sold on Ebay for $61.00. I was happy it sold for that amount! But I would like to hear any information you might have on this piece! I am sure I won't find another like it, but I love hearing the story of things.
