✅ SOLVED Button?

[Greyfox]

I found this piece of lead that is shaped like a button. Is it a button? Both sides are almost identical with no markings.


Thank you for any information,
Greyfox

Yup. That's a button.

Curtain or hem weight would be my guess.

Not a button but a hem weight for weighing down women's dresses and such

Lead Hem weight
