65 & 63 Fatty IHP's, & ?

I haven't hunted much at all in the last couple months due to my business and I doubt I will be able to hit it hard now even if the crops are coming off. Found these yesterday but finally posting them today. Found one 1863 fatty and the ever-popular 1865 IHP. Can anyone tell me anything about the button-like item? It looks like someone may have put the hole in it at one time with a square nail but was it a button or something else? Thanks!

Nice indian heads. I think the button thingy is the knob from a lamp.

I'll second that. Thumbwheel from an oil lamp.
Score on the Indians.

Nice digs WH. Wondered where you have been lately I'd have to say lamp knob as they have the date on them. I have found 4 all with 186? dates

You're probably right, don't know why I didn't think of that although most of the ones I seem to find our dated 1870's and newer. Thanks.
