Old Webelos Activity Badge?

[tcora]

All: Pulled out my Webelos colors from back in the day (1969-1970) and had my W1 scouts try to identify the activity badges on it. They got them all except for one, which I can't identify either! The badge looks like head of a horse (almost like a Knight in chess).

 

Any ideas what it is/was?

 

Thanks.

Found a 1997 thread from Scouts-L which says it's the old Artist pin. Can anyone confirm?

I checked Mitch Reis's book, and per it, the horse head design for the Artist badge was used from 1967-71.

Guys: That is great! Can anyone tell me what the requirements were back then? Clearly the current "Using a computer, make six original designs using straight lines, curved lines, or both." was not part of the mix!
