any idea?

[Moe (fl)]

This item was found recently at the beach.

It is the size of a nickel. I think it is copper.

Any idea?

Looks like a filter of some sort. or maybe a snap push piece to give fresh air in a piece of furniture. scratch the back to see the colour and you will see if it's copper or not.. Hutch.

I like the snap push piece idea. Maybe from an older mattress.

It's a vent from an old lounge chair cushion. Tony

Thanks for the replies. I would like to see a picture of a vent from the chair cushion to compare.

Being on a beach likely it's from a hat.Also think they put them in on some rain slickers gear.
Take Care,

Hey Moe. I see you are still hunting those beaches. Im going with the hat vent or raincoat slicker. . But I like the old mattress vent idea too. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/112704-buttons-filters.html
