Found today. What?s with the letters on the back and the design?
It says HISKOK on the back. All I can find is a family name and it being open on one end. Did it have a function?

Suspender or clothing clip, imo.

Thanks so much! I went back and looked at the markings on the back and indeed it says Hickok and NOT Hiskok.
mystery solved.
