It's folded over and back. Thought it was an animal ear tag at first. Cleaned it up and then I saw the logo.

It's The Buster Brown shoe logo. But what part?

 

[OldJerseyGirl]

Maybe for a slip tie.

When I was a young'un, there was a store in town that sold Buster Brown Shoes. They had an xray machine that sat just inside the door of the store, and every time us kids passed by we'd stop in and xray our feet, you looked into the top of the thing and you could see the bones and supposedly see if the shoe fit properly, but we would watch the bones in our toes. One wonders how many birth defects were caused by machine's like that.

I may be wrong but I think Buster Brown also had a clothes line for kids.

Cool find right there. I Love finding neat old stuff like that. Not many of those left, I'll bet eh? HH lb

I cringed when I read your post. I, too, would get on the foot X-Ray machine and constantly have my feet 'zapped'--as if the machine was a toy.
It's a wonder more of us who 'played' on those machines didn't get a 'bad reaction' in later years as a result of that activity.

OMG I thought I was the only one who remembered that machine !!!!! Or was the sole survivor of sticking my feet in one every time we went to the store !

Here's some info on the "Shoe fitting fluoroscope".
