Can you identify these wings? ***Solved****

[terpfan]

Found this 3-4" deep in the yard of a 100 yr old home. I suspect the piece is not nearly as old. The writing says "patent pending sterling" on the two removable side pins. The land the home is on has been in one family since it was built, and the current owner would be thrilled to find out the secret identity. Any ideas?. Thanks for looking!

They may not make them in sterling any more ...just a guess.

Thanks, Kevin. The design looks dead-on. The one I found, however, is smaller than 2 1/4". I should have posted this picture as well:

Looks identical to me. The wings could even be brass, or maybe gold plate. Only the removable pins and the center piece seem to be sterling. Must be some good metal, because it came out of the ground looking pretty much like you see it.
