✅ SOLVED Weird Piece of Ornate Silver

[cambria09]

Hello All. I found this last night at a house built in the 1920's.

Wife says maybe it's a garter clip but it seems too big for that and I have never seen one made of silver. It's 2-3/4 x 3/4-IN and the back is plain except for the letters "STE". Looks like the rest of "STERLING" is worn off.

Thanks for the view and let me know if you recognize this piece. HH. C9

If ribbon was through the slotted part it could be a bookmark maybe.

Good job 2M. I was thinking it was a latch on a fancy clutch purse from the 1920's or about, but couldn't find anything down path, so I gave up. Yes! I'm a quitter.

I found what it was searching ribbon latch or something along those lines. I didn't know what it was before that! I've never seen one before. Lol. Glad I could help. This forum and the members have helped me a lot. I love searching new stuff and learning new things.
