Strange Bird

[John Deere Digger]

Found this today at an old house site in a field. Anyone have a clue what it is for or from. That's a 1904 indian for reference, I know bad picture.

It's a swallow— a bird often depicted on jewelry, ornaments, etc. For example...

Thanks Mike for resizing the picture, I need to work on that. The back has what appear to be two small solder points.

Usually, a real expensive dinner, and a lot of groveling. Kidding, Kinda. Found one very similar, at an 1940's school yard. mine still had the pin on the back, which promptly fell off when cleaning.
