This is way up there on the coolness meter! I wish I knew what it is!

I have no idea what it is, but it's from 1957 (my birthyear) and I think it is very cool!!!

It looks like a medal or pin from the 1957 Gypsy Tour

What the Heck is a Gypsy Tour ?

A Gypsy Tour as defined in the AMA road riding rule book is a day long or overnight meet involving a ride, from a designated starting point, to a point of interest or to an event such as a campground, national monument, motorcycle meet or cookout.

Actually I think it's a hat badge from the 1957 American Motercycle Assn, tour.

AMA = American Motorcycle Association ... their national museum is about two miles from my house here in Ohio ... neat item.

That is real cool.

As mentioned, AMA is the American Motorcycle Association.
This one is neat because it says Gypsy Tour. The old Gypsy tours
were for the regular guys not good enough to make the regular tour.
A lot of the outlaw biker traditions were forged by this colorful crew.
