They almost look like they are from two different emblems. Are they glued together? Do they have a pin on the back? What size is it?

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

It does have an iron (very rusty) pin on the back and the horse on the left is somehow attached to the other three. It has to be cleaned but don't want to do it for now. It is about 1 3/4 inch long and 3/4 of an inch wide.

Based on your description, I believe it is two items somehow glued, soldered or brazed together. I'm sure you noted that the art appears to be markedly different in the case of the three heads versus the single horse. Also, if it has a rusty pin, it was most likely a brooch.

Or probably a tie clip? And I agree, there are two items connected together somehow. I looked closer and I couldn't see any marks, names or manufacturer, nothing, can't even say how old it is. Anyway, it's a keeper

I agree with GD its a brooch, most likely connected with horse racing, or something similar.Foiled Again
