    I have no idea what this is, Do you?

    I dug this at an 1870s house Saturday. It came out of the ground folded and crunched up.
    Does anyone have any idea what it might be?
    I added the penny to one photo for size comparison.
    THANKS

    Woodmen of the World is a fraternal organization that uses the axe, maul, and wedge as their symbols. Perhaps this is part of a belt buckle? Either that Don or the top part of a henway.

    Thanks Dave. I never thought of that. Could be.
