Found it many years ago metal detecting in New Jersey, and would love to find out what it is. Copper (?) numbered pendant with the emblem showing a shield with an enameled “B” in blue, supported by two rampant lions guarding it. Above the shield is a hand holding a glowing chalice/goblet. The number (17,309) is also enameled, but in black.
The back is stamped Grammes Allentown USA (L. F. Grammes & Sons, Inc. was founded in 1875 and made an amazing variety of metal products worldwide). It looks like the hole was enlarged, either on purpose or from wear.
The elaborate design (the enameled “B”, for instance) and the number that’s in the ten thousand, to me, seems like it’s from an old club with a lot of members.
It measures 1-3/8 inches H x 1-inch W and weighs .2 oz.
Thanks for any help!

Kind of reminds me of a hotel room key tag. :icon_scratch:

or a Bathroom key...

I'd also welcome you, but I see you joined in 2012 and just haven't posted yet.

Sorry I can't help on an ID, but there is a wealth of knowledge here on TreasureNet and I'm sure some will have an idea.

Great Find...
