Yeah! That wheel is a steam engine driven wheel. The bottom crescent is the counter weight for the transmission shaft that connects to the small circle above the center. As to what appears to be leaves I haven't got a clue. Maybe it has something to do with the district to which it referred originally.
Here is an example of a real one - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:S.....ving_wheel.jpg
I posted this over on 
historyfurs, but thought I would copy it over here too.
The hat is from a Japanese military motorcycle transport unit from World War II. The emblem can be seen on this page (Search for motorcycle):
