Re: Ok what is it? Another picture

Found in Oklahoma on an old military site.

Just a quick guess. Probably off an old writing desk or some type of chest or box or trunk. . decoration.. Vintage 1800"s.

Looks like some kind of a clip. Hat Clip for military hat? Belt Clip or Belt Keeper?

could it be a cigar band? Second thought bracelet ...because it has a pin attachment like a wrist watch

13 stars and a bust of a younger George Washington
prior to being president...
The two tabs on back press fit into something to hold it in place.
I am wondering if the "curve" is by design or was it bent while lost in the ground, is it meant to be flat?
Appears to be machine stamped brass or is it plated steel, hard to tell from the picture?
Very thin metal, not strong and not much corrosion?

Maybe a product logo, off something?

some clues...still thinking.

My first impression is what DG came up with. Ornamentation for a piece of furniture of some sort.

Looks more like Jefferson than Washington.

Could it be a journal medallion....the kind that were used on corners and bindings for protection and decoration

Looks more like Jefferson than Washington.

I was doubting the Washington ID too...
I will be searching for Jefferson things now...as the Washington searching has been NG.

thanks!
