don't think so it has a large clip then a smaller one more of a women's broach of some kind cant seem to date it though

I'm thinking it's a woman's hair clip decoration. Nice find.

It looks pretty old to me, maybe late 19th, early 20th century. I agree with your idea of a decorative clothing accessory.
Very cool find, congrats!

You said it has two clips? I think it is a Chatelaine, maybe Victorian. The large clip would go over the sash belt, while the woman would hang things from the smaller clip. Here is an image to illustrate.

You’re welcome. That is my guess anyway, though I could not see your pictures too well. . Here is a picture of the back and side view of the one I found three years ago. Sort of hard to see, but there are two clips with opposite open ends, if that makes sense. I thought money clip at first, but the two clips led me to find the chatelaines, which are unique little items, I think.
