Iron cross very old

First forgive the picture, it is only a scan. I got in my mom's button can today and ran across this. It has been in the can all my life so I am not sure how old it is or where it came from, but it is more than 60 years old. It is 1 and 1/2" long to the bottom of the shank and quite heavy for its size. No one in my family was ever in W.W. II and they immigrated from Germany late in the 1860's to avoid conscription. We looked on line to see something similar but so far no luck. It is just a curiosity. The shank is rounded and smooth--not a screw type thing. Any thoughts? Thanks, George and Jen (yupperlake)
