Badge?

[etrac1]

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.

Possible, but from the link you gave, the company was allowed to change its name on Mar 23, 1903. The name may have still been carried for the first two quarters of that year.

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

Very nice and interesting find hope you find out what it is. Good luck.
