madness - I hope you don't literally mean "throw it away". 
Even as a totally valueless item I would definitely keep it for study. I have so many odd items of no value in my various collections that my wife and family tell me my will should include a dumpster.
I for one would love to examine it and even buy it based on what I see here. If it is actually a composite piece made from three layers - it would be a form of alteration/forgery that I have not encountered in almost 50 years of collecting. There are two questions that are still unanswered - How was it made and WHY was it made?
Unless your local dealer is a collector of STRANGE material (like me
), he will most likely concur it is worthless.
