Another Virginia Button and Lead

[JeffDowns]

Anyone know what the item on the left is? It is lead. I figure someone made a two hole button out of a piece of lead. You can see the number 2 on the piece.

I guess you mean 'left'.
Not sure if it's some kind of curtain weight?

Yes. I would think so. Google "Lead Hem Weights" and you'll see lots of similar ones. These days used principally for curtains but, in days gone by, most often for flouncy crinoline dresses.
