This is one part of a musician's clip to fasten his music-score sheets to his trumpet or cornet or other instrument. It's called a "lyre" from the ancient greek chords instrument "lyra".

the piece in the back does not have the center strip on it- and yes it is a bit different, but pretty close. Find it on a ball field , school yard, town park??
