Guessing it was a suspender clasp. Can someone tell me when this style was popular?

As big as it is I'd say it is defiantly a belt/sash buckle

I think its too thin to be a buckle. At 2" x 1.5" I'm leaning towards suspender clasp. Somewhere on this site is a reference to a website with an excellent database for these things but I can't locate it.

Of course you are free to draw your own conclusions.

But I believe the earlier posts are correct. Early 20th C dress sash buckle.

thin is fine for these sash buckles, they carried no weigh & were mostly decoration, you even get fake ones that were more like brooches.
