Not sure it is anything military. Could you post an image of the reverse?

Hi Bill, here`s the reverse. These were part of a very old collection, primarily CEF. There are several, with slight variations. I also wondered if maybe they were the base for battalion numbers to be mounted on? Thanks for your help.

Default Plain Maple Leaf......

Hi:
What you have are shoulder epaulette maple leaves, as worn by other ranks of the Governor Generals` Foot Guards, as used from late 1800`s until the mid 1920`s.
Hope this helps.

That helps indeed, John! Thanks much. Would explain why I`ve never seen them before, can`t imagine them being a common item. Thanks again for the help!
