Found this a while ago and had it posted in the what is it column they identified it as a bicycle tag. I had it bent back into shape (it was completely bent in half) and now it's back to its original glory (sort of lol) it says Monroe La. 1906 on top and 109 on the bottom, I never noticed till now it was in the shape of a B!! Thanks for looking and hh!!

Those vintage bicycle head badges are not easy to come by. One with a date is very desirable to collectors.
Congratulations
