Really neat Pin I need help identifying...please help on this one

[Get-the-point]

I purchased an Indian Artifact collection and found something that I need all of your help with. There was this Brass and Lead it looks like a pin or button not sure. It does have a interesting design on it and is what makes me believe it is old. It has a old style pitchfork and rake. So I ask all you Civil and Revolutionary Button experts your opinion on this and any help with Identification and value would greatly be appreciated. It seems to be in great condition although it has a dent in it. Well here it is.........................Thanks GTP

It looks like the back off a pocket watch. It's Harvest time.

It is a bridle rosette, as evidenced by the two missing attachment pieces on the back. I believe the design is a state seal, and might be related to Tennessee, but I will need to look around.

Added: here is the Tennessee state seal to compare.

bingo, we have a winner
