    Could someone tell me what this thing was used for?
    Looks like a buckle but kind of small size to be it.
    Was this standard issue or custom made?
    Size is 30mm by 25mm.

    Even though the letters USNA are on these devices, the symbology doesn’t relate to the Academy. Yes I guess it could be something to do with the class of 1907, but I’ve never seen anything like it related to the Academy. So I simply have no idea what these are.

    Yes I’m sure it is the same BB&B.

    I thought Bailey Banks Biddle too when I first saw this post, but find it very odd that it only says "silver" and not sterling.

    It is small for a buckle; maybe a decorative slider for something else....like for a hat-band, where a small buckle-like item might be used. or something similar.

    Wondering about 1907....the USNA football team had a great, or at least good, year in 1907....
