What is this,besides junk
« on: November 24, 2013, 07:19:13 pm »
Hi,all don't mean to waste your time on this,but just curious what the heck this is. Found it a while back metal detecting. Looks like a B M on it, the m is near impossible to make out from pic. Badge? Belt buckle?

Greenacres,inside the circle is a fancy B or maybe a 3, but followed by a definite M that is half the size of the B Or 3. 3m the company crossed my mind but nothing on google I can find like this

my first impression was a tape measure....but don't know about the size.

Is it hollow?

Perhaps a head badge from a tricycle, bike or pedal car !!   There was a toy mfr with the BM initials but that was in the UK !!

Brunswick is another brand. There is a list of all bike companies on Wikipedia.  This company has been around since 1845. This is U, S.A.. There are European brands to.

After looking at this thing a while I think KC may be correct in guessing tape measure !! There is a little niche where the tape would have come out !!  There was a Braunsdorf Mueller co that made tools and hardware !! They started in 1901 !!  Haven`t looked the company up yet !!

Don't think this is a tape measure cause if it is they must have accidentally put the logo upside down:) I'm leaning toward mart with the petal car idea? Oh rauville,long way from Maine ,Alberta. Thanks guys for helping me with this worthless piece of crap! Curiousity!!!

I was thinking that too. As I looked at bikes there were no parts resembling that part. Then I thought it had to be something to like that. I agree with mart.
