Any ideas what this is? An old pin?

Anyone have any ideas on what it is or the age? I found it in an area known for activity primarily from military dating from 1860-1945

That is what we used to call a "dammit" It holds the stick pin collar brass on uniforms and they often come off.

Yep, exactly what it is. Couldn't tell you how many of those I have lost myself.
