✅ SOLVED Brass Item--Part of a Pin or Medal? Military? Civilian? Mass 1683 property

[btjbtj]

Hi all, we dug this brass item yesterday. About 1.5" long. Can't quite find anything like it online. Any ideas? Note the hole in its side--not made by someone trying to hang it as a locket, but forged when the item was made (as you can see by the homing on the underneath). In the group photo, the item in question is at the top. Thanks for your thoughts. ~Lisa & John
