✅ SOLVED Is this a button?

[perdidogringo]

Hi All,

I dug up this item today which I think may be a button, but not sure. It seems to be made of copper or brass, is concave, and only has one hole. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

size?

About the size of a quarter.

Kind of makes me think of the backing of a collar disk that is worn on a Army dress coat. ??

Don't believe it's a button.

Maybe a small escutcheon from a drawer pull?

I’ve seen one of these before but I just can’t place it…
But not a button

Not a button. It's an escutcheon.

My vote is escutcheon. Nice pictures BTW

Is it my eyes. or is there a design or possibly some letters on the domed side?

No design or letters, unfortunately.

Ok, we’ll call it an escutcheon. Thanks, fellas!
