Crazy cut out star button? Added pics of back.

This was found on a site that has yielded Colonial coppers to Indianheads. Not my find so these are the best pics I have. What the heck is it? Back has two holes in it.





Thanks for looking!

Back pic did not post.

I'm guessing it is a fashion button.

What size is it? Can't tell by the ruler and angle. Also need a back photo. Thanks!

I do not have a pic of the back, I am trying to get one. The size is 20mm.

Thanks for your help

Based on the architecture of the button, my guess is that it was originally a glass dome designer button. I will check a couple of books I have to see if I can find a match.

Good call creskol!

Maybe something like this:

Mid to late 19th C.
