In recent years, years of service were determine by the number of diamonds in the pin.
Yes it is for Ford Service.
There were ones for all of the Departments of FoMoCo.
Men got lapel pins / tie tacks, women got necklaces. Most of the ones that I have seen and collected show the three generations of Ford profiles (used for the 50th Anniversary of the company and commissioned to be done by Norman Rockwell) on a small square. The wording for years of service was listed below the three profiles.
1954-1964
The Ford profile pins that i know about : 10K 25 & yrs 30yrs

unknown years
Henry Ford face: round 10k 30yrs

1944-1948
Ford round (similar to picture) sterling 25 yr

1948-1963
Ford round (similar to picture) 10k 25 yr, 10k 30 yr
