✅ SOLVED Help?! Unknown Shield

[Hunted out]

I am new to this site, but I have metal detected for about 20 years. This is an old find that I dug at an old house a few years ago. Nobody has ever been able to provide any information as to what it might be. It's about 1 3/8" tall and 1 5/8" wide; it appears to be brass or copper. No back markings at all. I know there are a lot of experts that monitor this forum and I am anxiously waiting for your opinions. Thanks in advance.

I will tell you what I know, which isn't much. The bottom would have extended down into a point. If I am not mistaken I believe the latest thinking is that it came off an older model bicycle. Charlie Harris had one in his book on "Civil war relics of the Western campaign" but he now acknowledges they are not civilwar.

We have seen these on here before and I don't think they were ID'ed except to be late 1800s time frame and non-military. I'll see if I can find the post where they were discussed.
