That's what the look like. About the right size too. They are brass.
Anybody have a clue?

Ive found acouple of those my self I believe that they maybe used around a saddle to hold the leather or as a added decoration simalar to what you see on older furniture when a material meets wood? Just a guess best I could come up with.

I have found these as well. I believe it may be from leather furniture after the home was torched.

Still say that when unsure, say furniture hardware or horse tack. Seems we have both so far.
