Hi, Dennis:

re your pics, here are your Canadian badges:

17/18 - Can't tell if these read 'CANADA' or 'UBIQUE' but if they have lugs, they are Canadian, if they have sliders, they are British. #17 looks like the 'spinning wheel' officer type, with the wheel a separate piece with a wire or stud attachment in the hub. If they read Canada, they are WWI era.

21 is Canadian Grenadier Guards, WW2 vintage (or at least pre-1952).

37/41 are both pre-1924 Toronto Regiment. The same badge was used in WWI, so if there is a maker mark on the back (e.g. Tiptaft), it will help nail down the date better.

42 is a standard WWI (CEF) shoulder title.

44 is a Queen's Crown (hence post 1953) Perth Regiment

38/39/40 are all modern, or at least post-unification badges. I'm not up on these, so the only one I recognize for sure is the Logistics badge. You can get all the info you need for modern Canadian corps and regimental badges from the Canadian DoD/DHH website.

43 is modern Royal Canadian Army Cadets

45 is some sort of patriotic brooch/pin, and looks to be Victorian (turn of the century -- er, last century -- around 1900/Boer War)

Hope you aren't dodging snowdrifts in Philly.
