I think it's a carriage badge. I didn't find a lot go info, any help.

I didn't get anything either. There was a car company for a couple of years with Pitts in the name but they started in 1905. Also a steam tractor company, which may be what it is, but no definite results. I would think it was more likely to be some form of farm machinery as opposed to a luxury type of vehicle, mostly because the tag looks less decorative in nature. Great find and I hope someone recognizes it.

Looks like it attached to something leather. Is that some leather on the right-hand side? If so then perhaps something off of horse tackle?

Yes it has a leather strap on it.
Maybe off some machinery made by this company?

I'm still thinking horse tackle. Those two rivets look exactly like the rivets I dig at old farms.
