That is a horn button of a Borgward Isabella. The coat of arms is the city coat of arms of the city of Bremen. Bremen, a city in northern Germany, was the hometown of the Borgward company. The company was closed in 1963.

Thanks for the terrific information Dr. Heuring! My uncle brought an Isabella stateside after a European military tour in the early 60s. I remember it being a very luxurious car unlike most full-size vehicles seen in E. Tennessee at the time. I guess they come up on BAT from time to time and Sotheby's has a '59 coming up for auction in October. This photo from a '61 coupe that sold on BAT a couple years ago.
