I know that in the early 1900's Excelsior was a shoe company.....
But that doesn't look like any part of a shoe that I've seen.... looks like an elaborate buckle....
Maybe buckle for back of pants or coat.
I would think its a knee buckle but dont think those were being patented in 1865.
Are you sure of that patent date?
