Post subject:  PRR Spike Question

For you PRR experts out there: One of our members came across a silver spike with a red keystone on the head. It looks vintage, like it's been in someone's junk drawer for 50 years.

The question is, did PRR ever hand these out as official gifts/awards or is it likely some old gift shop chachki? I'll upload a photo if it'll help.

I was gifted one of those by a PC, former PRR, train master who was friends with my Dad. He also gave me a "Golden Rule" ruler that was PRR branded. I lost them at some point.
