Hoping someone can help identify the rocket pin on the left. I believe from the "PAD MAY 62" text, that it was given to launchpad crew for the Mercury Atlas 7 launch.

Someone in r/whatisthis was able to identify it as being related to the May 1962 Frigate Bird live fire nuclear ICBM test. Weird thing to make a pin for... but there it is.
