This might prove helpful, I'm not sure:

Button Back Marks

Your button is a Great Seal one. They are military and first appeared in 1901. Your button dates after 1910 when a rim was added. It appears that your button has a black finish on it and that would date it from 1910 to 1923. Is there any lettering on the back?

Found no markings on the back

Thanks fyrffytrq I was so thrilled found it. It was the first time this year I got to do any digging.

Nice button! The "what's it" looks like an old door knocker although I could be way off. Either way nice finds and happy hunting!

As small as it appears, it probably is a drawer pull. It is missing a part. You can do an image search for " drop drawer pulls".

Thank for replyies.i never would lf thought about a door knocker

I think Old Dude is right, prob too small for a door knocker.

Sorry to bump this really old thread, but I just stumbled on it from Google as the only match when looking for a replacement drawer pull for one that was broken off a dresser while moving.

No luck finding such a thing, but for closure on that particular item, here's what it looks like intact 😉

Thanks for the picture. I just got back to treasure net. I love this site. In 2016 I had a house fire and lost it all. I will be getting a new detector this year.

Way to go on the ID! Even years later TNet comes through.
