I found this in a box of items from my 94 yr old Aunt and have no idea what it is... It kind of reminds me of a button, since it's the right size. I'm really stumped- any clues? Thanks

Regards,
Pam

It's a coat/cape clasp. It would normally have a identical piece on the other side but with a hook that fits into the loop part. Does that make sense? It appears to be carved Bakelite from the 1940's! Nice!

Hi Buttonista,

Thanks so much for your helpful comments and solving this mystery for me. I loved looking at your gorgeous buttons and will definitely be on the lookout for neat buttons in the future. Take care
