I was going through my pile of trash and found this piece. I have no idea what it is. Should it be flat or is it shaped like it should be?

Yep I agree.  I wouldn't risk destroying it.  I like it as is.  More personality that way, plus it stands up on end for displaying.  If it was flat it would just be normal.  Grin

The mounting tabs indicate that it was fastened to something or maybe they were meant to have a screw or bolt go thru both holes. I like the emblem idea personally, I don't see a normally flat item getting bent into an almost circle accidentally, I think that metal would fold or crease more like the mangled parts.

I agree IronSpike .. with the screw hole tabs and curvature of the main section, it looks like a bicycle head tube badge/emblem to me as well, similar in architecture to the Atlas one shown below.

Too late! I started unfolding it using a pencil , then finished with my fingers. I agree that it was attached to something. If it were for a bike wouldn't it have the brand on it?

Folks, it's a Susender Clip.   icon_sunny 


GoodyGuy's photo shows the proper orientation of the clip.


I've never seen one rolled up like that.

What screw tabs?  The two little tabs on either side were originally at a 90 degree angle to the face of the suspender clip.  They held the little crossbar that gripped the fabric.  

Top row, 5th one from the left shows the tabs folded straight out (I dont straighten these back to 90 degrees because they tend to break):
