Any idea what this "B"?

[cudamark]

Found at an old homestead site. Shaped like a money clip but with the hole and ring at the bottom, I nixed that idea. As a pendant, it would hang upside down, so that's not it..... Any ideas? Maybe something that went around a belt? It's actually silver in color on the shiny parts. The lighting just makes it look golden. Looks to be a silver wash or real worn plating. I don't see any makers mark (or any other marks/logos for that matter) except for the big "B" on the outside.

Sure looks like one, nhbenz! Any way to figure out the age of it?

I agree: a belt loop fob; maybe from the '20s
