🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Artillery Belt Plate Age?

[fyrffytr1]

Trying to help someone ID this belt plate. It is similar to the 1885-1900 militia belt plate except it is a 1 piece stamped version which I am guessing is a later production. None of my references go past 1905! I don't have the dimensions on it yet. Found in Maine.

Can't help but it's a cool find. Perhaps 1850s??

If I am not mistaken, that is a post-Civil War stamped brass Militia Artillery plate. It would have had an applied tongue and belt loop on it.

If you post it to the US Militaria Forum someone will nail it down quickly. Just post it to the forum section: Unknown, Can You Identify?

I think it's brass, not magnetic about 3 and 1/4 inch wide, and 1 and 3/4 inches high. Definitely stamped. Found at a mid 1800's home site. I'm sure it's decorative. At first, we thought maybe it was some type of belt plate.
