Went out the other day and dug this along with a few Chinese Cash Coins and a nice button.
It's brass and 2 1/2" long x 1 1/8" at the widest.
Top piece is 1 1/8"x1 1/8" and the bottom piece is 2" hinge to tip x 1 1/8".
The top pivots on a heavy folded over tab.
The decorations look like a flower in the center of the bottom part with long leaves around the edge.
The top part looks like three splayed leaves with three seeds in the middle.
It looks like a small part has been broken off the top of the top part and off the bottom of the bottom part.
It's Thick and heavy... too heavy for a pin or broach.
And I don't see any way it could have been used for a pull... like on a drawer or box.
Love to entertain any ideas you may have.
Thanks
Oh and there is no writing anywhere on it.
