Is this a snap or button?

Can anyone ID this Wirst Fit what is it? And what is the other thing, a fastener? They, along with the spoon came from the same lot. To control weeds the lots in this area are disked yearly to contorl weeds. That's what the spoon must have been hit by. I found a ford key marked 55 too.

Wrist fit sure looks like the primer end of a shotgun shell. The others I'm not even gonna guess. HH Stan...

Just a guess... but the "wrist-fit" may be a snap for a vintage pair of gloves, the snap being at the wrist to fit snuggly. Could not find an example to back my theory tho...

The Ford key is a Model T switch key, c. 1909-1927. Numbers ranged from 51 to 74.

(Similar keys, but with numbers 101-124— i.e., 50 added to the Ford key number— were made for Dodge switches.)

When I first dug it up I thought it was too. But after a quick inspection I came to the conclusion that it wasn’t. I'm an old gunner, so I'm sure of that.

Thanks PBK and everyone else

When I called it a fastener I meant a nailing type of fastener. If you look closer you can see that one side of the shank is flat. Like it was meant to be nailed into wood or something similar.

Seems like in my memory, I can recall my Grandmother having a coat that had buttons just like that stem with the ball end.

It looks as if it might be one of the ball snaps from a purse.

The Ford key I found has a 51 stamped on the back. Thanks for the info, I had no idea.

The balled peice may be a door hing pin thats been modified for a different use.
