Well nobody knows what it's made out of and only gum chewers know how big it is.

Sorry gum was all I had at the time I don't know what type of metal it is,brass I guess, but I don't know. Here's it compared to a dollar hopefully there are some dollar owners lol ��

It's a woman's hair clip

It's not a womens hair clip. It's clearly bent in half, and the bicycle tag sounds as good as any, but we may get a clearer idea if you can flatten it out? And clean it up.

I don't want to do that because, I think it's suppose to be like that,and I'm scared if I did that it'll break. I have figured out the bottom number is 109 though!!

Four out of five dentists surveyed could not identify this item.

It will likely break if you try and bend it, old brass gets extremely brittle.

The oldests ones look like copper, just havent found a good pic of how they attached.
