What could this be a part of....?

3 1/2" diameter and 1/4" thick made of pewter...obviously a Silver Anniversary medallion of some sort but does anyone know what it was used for.

Guesses so far...
1: Part of a dealership plaque (my guess)
2: Glove box lid emblem (my wifes guess, too heavy though)
3: Early road rage weapon (my sons guess)

....?

 

Looks to me something that might be handed out as a promotional item. It's pretty cool looking.

 

How about a paperweight?

 

Coaster for the executive dining room.

 

Looks like a grille badge, like you might see on a Mercedes or other European car, although I don't know how it would mount (or where on a '49 Chrysler)

 

Executive paperweight given to upper employees during their anniversary!

X2 what he said

 

1949, you sure it's not lead?

 

Is the back side smooth with traces of glue or felt(coaster), threaded screw holes or other possible mounting holes(medallion for desk pen set or award plaque)?

 

It has a lip like it was recessed into something else...wood?...brass....who knows?

I thought it could be lead by the weight of the thing but it shines up like a lead pewter, & damn it's heavy.

 

If you want to sell it lemme know.. it would look cool on my 50 coronet with 49 coronet parts....

 

Ashtray ? set in glass?
