Antique “US” War Medal???

[[email protected]]

This is my first post on this forum. I’ve been searching endlessly for a match on this piece and I just cannot find it. My impression is that it is some type of medal from one of the wars of the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Maybe a medal given to veterans but there is not mention of a specific war, which you’d expect. Any insight would be fantastic!!

Your find reminds me of a watch fob--with that loop on top.
Any letter, words or logo on the reverse?

Someone else said the same thing to me. There is absolutely nothing on the reverse unfortunately.

Very nice piece. Kind of big for watch fob?

I don’t want it to be a watch fob! 😂

Here’s a similar one that is said to be (but I haven’t confirmed) from the G.A.R., which would be a civil war vet... If correct (which I don’t know): https://www.liveauctioneers.com/en-gb/item/69226404_gar-patriotic-button-and-adj-general-watch-fob
