Pendent or Zipper Pull?

[Gille]

I have found 3 of these "Lightning Bolt P's" in different parks in Omaha, NE. At first I thought they were pendants from a local high school sports team. I friend believes they are probally zipper pulls from an old popular jacket maker. Here is what I do know. One looks like it might be copper another brass but they weigh a hefty 12 grams. Measure 1 1/2 by 7/8 on an inch. Also the back is flat and lacking any identification marks.

Can anyone identify these items? Thanks. Gille

There was a post awhile back that had some those. I believe they were off of a popular sports jacket zipper...
I tried to do a search for the page, but couldn't find it...
What ever they were attached to must not have been too well of a design, because I've seen quite a few of them...

They seem too big to be zipper pulls. I think that what you found is probably some ancient bling bling from some guy who's name begins with a "P". Probably some kind of bronze age gangster...or singer.

TY so much. I kept pulling these out of the ground and it was very puzzling. I'm surprised that it is such a modern item. I thought maybe it was from the 1950's. Again thx for your insight.
