I was trying to clean it, and realized that I was really damaging the detail. I have no idea what this is. The letters in the three small rings are, "F, L and ?" In the upper left there is a "0" with what looks like an "L" in front of it or "10". In the upper right, before I damaged it, there was clearly "OF" Does anyone have a clue? There is nothing on the other side. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 8:18 pm Haven't got a clue. A blank reverse and the hole at the top make it seem like a pendant from a necklace. Or maybe a key ring charm...? Report this Post to the Staff
Slyder70 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/25/2015 10:27 pm Buddy. The symbol in the center top looks very much like a cigar wrap, which would make sense. Ybor City was and has been a famous Cigar producing town for over a century. Do you think it may be a tag from a sealed box of cigars? Maybe held by wire? Report this Post to the Staff

Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 1:39 pm I am fairly sure that is a hang tag advert piece that simulates a medal to make a product such as wine or cigars look more prestigous Report this Post to the Staff
