I have no idea!

I was going through my pile of trash and found this piece. I have no idea what it is. Should it be flat or is it shaped like it should be?

Maybe a bicycle emblem.

 

[BuckleBoy]

part of a chain for either a medal or a pocket watch. originally was flat.

 

[RiverRat3]

By the bends in the metal I would say it should of been flat.

Looks like it should have been flat. I will say a watch fob.

 

[IronSpike]

I'm going with suggested fob

Yep I agree. I wouldn't risk destroying it. I like it as is. More personality that way, plus it stands up on end for displaying. If it was flat it would just be normal.

Thats what it looks like to me too.The holes are there where it would have been mounted on something.

The mounting tabs indicate that it was fastened to something or maybe they were meant to have a screw or bolt go thru both holes. I like the emblem idea personally, I don't see a normally flat item getting bent into an almost circle accidentally, I think that metal would fold or crease more like the mangled parts.

I agree IronSpike .. with the screw hole tabs and curvature of the main section, it looks like a bicycle head tube badge/emblem to me as well, similar in architecture to the Atlas one shown below.

Too late! I started unfolding it using a pencil , then finished with my fingers. I agree that it was attached to something. If it were for a bike wouldn't it have the brand on it?

Drawer pull ornament?

Drawer pull ornament?

That would make sense with the design of rope and tassels

This appears to be right side up.........according to the tassels.

You ruined it! Just kidding. Great job on straightening it out without it breaking. I am going will bicycle headbadge also. Neato.

Folks, it's a Susender Clip.


GoodyGuy's photo shows the proper orientation of the clip.


I've never seen one rolled up like that.

Never seen a suspender clip with screw tabs on it. Do you have any info on it? Thanks!
