I know it is a Ford part but what is it used for?

The back has a threaded bolt in the center.

My first thought was a hub grease cap, but the threaded bolt is throwing me off. It may just be the grille emblem.

Grill emblem for a ford tractor? Tony

Center piece to the horn?

 

[cudamark]

Maybe the center out of a hubcap or wheel cover?

I found a couple of photos for comparison:

I completely agree with that. The stud on back would have been longer originally, but looks broken off on the one here.

Yep. And the square on the back would have aligned it in the bumper.

Boy, that after market replacement bumper button on ebay sure doesn't have the same quality in detail of an original ford part.

I found that some folks refer to them as bumper clamps and found a better range of quality. This one shows the back for comparison: Model T Center bumper clamp, Ford Script, Chrome, 2956
