you need to put a size reference in pic. & view of the other side. kinda looks like fitting for piping

It's looks more like an escutcheon for a doorknob, but hard to tell without a size mentioned or something included for size reference.

A mechanical doorbell, door knocker and doorknob can could all use a rosette of this type and May be identical on a matched set of door hardware. However, so far I'd go with the doorknob rosette... one that clips onto a larger backplate, since your item lacks screw holes. But I can't find pictures to support this, so I'll be curious to see if anyone can find a definitive answer (I hope!).

bountyhuntergirl86,

You're doing great US probably general service 2 piece button....believe that type spans a fairly long period of use....any writing on the back....you may want to take another set of pictures maybe on a white paper background to bring out the
details more clearly.

Regards + HH
