Need some help with identification. The small button I feel is a Spanish/Mexican button. I have had no luck in searching a positive ID.
The Eagle form has a 3/16 threaded hole in the bottom for attachment to...….. flag pole? All help or direction as to where to research would be great. Both items were close 40 - 50 ft. from each other. I am finding also in this search area US military buttons, lead spoil from bullet casting, lead solder seal cans, round balls shot and un-shot, horse shoe nails. Again, any help would be appreciated.

The eagle was probably either side of a mantle clock.

Never thought about the possibility of "drawer pulls" most I am finding are double anchor points, but will keep searching. Thank you.
