Identify these pins?

My old man just came back from Goodguys in Indianapolis. He came across a man in the swap meet that had a "giant" box of these old auto pins. It took him two hours going through the whole box to find some Hudson pins to give me as a present when he got back. During his search, he picked up a lot of cool ones: Rickenbacker, Premiere, Marmon, Stutz, Moon, Duesenberg, LaSalle, and a few others.
I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't think these were Hudson Pins, but I have not yet been able to identify them. My only thought about the "Twin Six" pin, is that I recently read that Cadillac originally called their V-16 the "Twin Eight". Makes me think that maybe the Twin Six referred to a V-12. Also, the crest is not familiar to me, but have not researched it. My best guess at this point is Packard. Think I'll check out the Packard internet site to see if I can find the crest.
Anyone have any knowledge you can offer?
Sorry about the fuzzy picture, but these are kinda small and hard to get a real good focused shot with my camera. I'm sure my camera will do it, but I guess I'm not so camera-savvy.

Didn't Packard refer to their V12 as a twin six for a while?0

Indeed they are Packard. The Twin Six is what Packard called their V-12 from 1915-1923 and in 1932. After that it was the Packard Twelve.0
