Military eagle whatsit

[Gary66]

This thing is paper thin and I've been wanting some ID for quite a bit..any info or guess would be appreciated.

It looks like there was a spot at the top that a ribbon could have gone thru.

Found on land G.W owned.

Found a match, but not an ID

I don't think it's a button

Good match IS the bird looks like a Phoenix not a Eagle :P

I thought that as well, just wasn't sure why it was on a globe

I know of Roman coin's with that image, I've had a couple, but I think the Phoenix might be worth researching.

Isn't there a place in Phoenix Arizona, called Globe as well...could be something to do with that

I wonder why its so thin? Is it part of something else or just worn.

Part of something else Maybe decorative piece on a key or a part of a flag for a mailbox

Not getting much on image search

Maybe South Chicago Botteling Works or Globe Bank Enterprise Mfg. Co.

The piece is rather thin. I'll get Michaelangelo to post some better pics

In a perfect world that's what mine would look like. Mine is missing the entire outer rim.

The one Iron Spike posted is one I found in my yard (under the clothesline-the house is 85 years old). The son of the previous owner went to Oak Ridge Military Academy and I just figured it came off of one of his uniforms.
Be interesting to find out what it actually is.

Mine was found on the edge of a hillside in a public park...Where a house was bulldozed and pushed over the hill. Most of my good coin
finds were at the edge of the hill or slightly down over. I would like to know what it is seeing how yours is in great shape.
