Strange writing on piece of metal

[dapperandy]

Can someone tell me what this is a piece of or from? The writing does not seem to be English as I cant make out anything hardly.

I found one of those in the river and it took me a little while to figure it out too. I cleaned it up and realized that the words were backwards and placed it in front of the mirror where I could read it. It was an advertisement as well. I ended up giving to our local small town newspaper paper editor. He was happy. I've also dug a Sweet Orr two piece button that is much older than 1920. So that company must have been around a while. - Cool find.

SWEET-
