I was visiting a friend in the past few days and he presented me the item you see in the attached photos. Since it was a "Studebaker" item, he thought I might appreciate it being a bit of a "Stude Nut". He had found the item in his Dad's effects after he had passed away. As far as my friend knows, no one in his family had owned a Studebaker, so he was mystified as to its origin. He thought it was a belt buckle.
Having shown it to some other Stude folk at this past weekend's NW Overdrive, we believe it is a piece of horse tack perhaps from Studebaker's Wagon era. It appears to be solid brass.
If anyone out there can provide a more accurate description of the item and when it may have been made/in use. It would be appreciated.
