Found this item today and thought at first it was a button. Now not sure. It is the same diameter as a nickel. Any help is appreciated.

A stud from some horse tack. The two metal prongs on the back would be pushed through a hole in the leather and then folded down (like an old brass paper fastener) to hold the stud in place.

I thought that at first, but its a broken loop.


CC,
When the loop was intact, would there have been enough room to slide it on a strap of leather?
