Todays Finds Need ID Help

[carolinachief]

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.

I agree,have a couple things that look like that in away.How things going did the info help?I've been busy today on off here and tring to get ready for oystering coming up.Got me a pair of tongs built today though.Weather not to good sounding next few days.Like to catch the tide low and take ya.But I don't guess that will ever take place.So might just have to make a go at it anyway.

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?
