Consider it's a shirt stud.

I disagree ...

The "C" is not the correct position ... It would hang wrong ...

Studs are symmetrical ...

I was thinking the post was bent, but, you're most likely right as that would have been one long stud post for a shirt...

Disregard!

Hello Mike. I guess its a cufflink. I cannot find the crescent in my 1909 Sears catalog but there are similar rounded corner square shaped Masonic cufflinks. (bottom right) I also noticed some collar buttons to compare...

Possibly half of a Sun & Moon Masonic set?

"The cufflinks are meant to be worn with the Moon cufflink on your left hand, and the Sun on your right. Evocative of not only the Junior and Senior Deacons, but also the Masculine/Feminine, the regularity over which you should govern your life, and the thought that every man spends his life some where between the Sun and the Moon, the moon on his left, and the Sun on his right, when he is facing South, the seat of Beauty."

I would guess early 20th c. Maybe late 19th c.
