Fastener?

Came out of the dirt like this near a cellar hole where I found multiple IHPs.



Any ID help appreciated!

It looks like some kind of a brassard that might have been designed to attach to some piece of leather or fabric. The spacing of the prongs looks about right for a lapel pin. I don't get the crosswire unless it was imbedded in some kind of emblem.

Cool finds! I hope you'll find a better answer.--------Phil

I'm thinking the two points are actually bent and would have stood up straight.
Other then that, I think Priv8ear is onto something.

The flanges on the back look really heavy for fabric. It makes me think of a blinder button but I've never see one that small.
