Looks like part of a spur not sure what those in the book are but it looks similar.

reminds me of the clips on the ugly black rubber over the shoe boots in the 60s
forget what they were called

Part of spur unless too small.

I found one of them, and the rest of the spur. Along with Federal Navy and Infantry buttons from 1850-60's.
