Don't know anything about it, but it sure looks like its old, like 1880s, and silver. Any markings on the back?

It's Silver-plated.

man that thing is cool. don't know anything about it, but I agree it is probably 1880's - 1890's. might be worth some bucks to a baseball collector

Might have been part to a trophy? Pretty cool though.

Wonder if it could have come off a trophy?

A baseball infield is square , not a diamond .......... maybe u can research the design as to when the "diamond" design was popular

It has been called a baseball diamond for many years.

I see you found it in two pieces, the body and the "tail". Any indication of remnants of loops on top or bottom, as if it was a suspension badge? Or, is the rust on the reverse an indication of a horizontal steel pin that has long since rotted away...From the engraving style it sure looks like a late 1800's award, college, high school, municipal league. Very cool, Sub

The "tail" snapped off,doesn't appear it was a pin. Still waiting for an ID!
