Really need help on this one

[Eazy D]

I found this today while digging an old property. I researched the info on the back and found out that he became an agent of Cadillac in 1910. His business was in my home town. The records show he lost everything in the depression of 1929. He dealt in cars and buggies. Any idea what it may be or be off of?

I wonder if he was the grandfather of Ursula?
My research pleasantly wondered off; sorry.

Possibly

I played baseball with an Andress when I was younger. It has a hole at each end I'm guessing to attach it to something. The area I found it was where my research said he spent time as a young man. But that was before the dealership. There are no records that I can find after his death. I was hoping maybe a car guy would recognize it. I may try contacting the local historical society. In the end it's just a really cool find possibly tied to early history of the town.

Can you read the 4th line of text (might need a magnifying glass)? I suspect it is the maker of the tag, which could lead us to more items they made, and maybe the application of this one.

 

[Mackaydon]

To me, the 4th line is out of focus and will require another pic to read the words.

I will get and post

I am actually back out detecting. As soon as I get home I will run a magnifying glass on it and try to make it out. I will post the results here in about an hour. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to help me on this one.
