Cool stuff.  I thought I was digging about 50 IH's this morning but none turned out to be IH's...

Cool finds Mike!  Never saw a buckle like that before... you gotta be pretty cool to wear one of those.

Nice!
I wonder if the buckle could be a hairpiece or barrette of some kind with the rest of the holdy part missing? (Hard to tell the size of it from your photo - is it too large to wear on a ladies head?)

Mike, that really is a cool. . . whatever Cheesy and a nice Indian too!

Regarding the "what's-it", I'd be inclined to think horse tack related.
The three "tongs" on the reverse suggest that it may have at one time
been crimped onto a piece of leather as some sort of decoration. It's a
really neat piece thumbsup

Looks like it came off one of those fancy old band-players hats, uh-huh!  I want one!
It's a squirrel gun, get it?
