2 cool finds at 1800s House

[bergie]

Found this cool "Princess Pat" cosmetics tin with make-up inside, from early to mid 1900s (was hoping for coins inside oh well). I did some research and found photo of exact same tin and more info at link below. Also found this old "A" button, though it's not really a button. Let me know your thoughts on ID for it, the back has a long stem, not a button loop.

The mystery item pictured looks like a drawer pull to me.
Just a guess,

I would agree with Felix and say drawer pull as well.
