They appear to me as old time upholstery tacks.You used to see them on old couches,chairs,and the like to secure whatever material was used to cover the piece.

Yep, I go with tack heads.

The ones that have facets on them are upholstery tack heads I have seen on chairs and such the smooth ones I can't say for sure. But they are probably the same.

I think Tack heads are pretty close

When did they start making those?

I honestly don,t know.I,d think they,ve been around as long as fabric covered furniture at least.I don,t have time right now to do a search but you could do that yourself.It,s fun and rewarding too.
