My first thought was a saw medallion, then possibly a pistol grip medallion, then part of a snap or overalls button.

The smarter people will be around soon enough to help you.

Looks like a small drawer handle to me

Are there threads inside the shaft on the back of the item?

Trying to figure out if that's a letter on the face of the button. G?

Is there a hole in the shaft on the back of the item - for a set screw?

 

[Gare]

Could they possibly a drawer pull type knob ?

 

[Blackfoot58]

Very ornate. Nice find.
Maybe it is a small knob for a drawer or jewelry box.
