There are no markings this is about 4 inches wide and the round thing in the middle is about the size of a quarter... I have no clue to what it is... I was hoping someone here has seen one before and can tell me what it is.

Ohhh that's nice! Tell us are tbe posts going through threaded? Could we see a pic of the back? What do you think it's made of? It's not rusted , but don't look like a very heavy metal.
Maybe someone can tell you without that extra info. But if they can't , maybe you could give us that. Look forward to the responses on this.
I wonder if a post connected the loops on tbe front loops, just a thought

Furniture pull escutcheon/backplate with the handle portion missing is what I guess, I have installed 1000s of furniture pulls in my line of work.

The studs would go through the face of the furniture/door and have nuts to secure the pull.

Here's few examples, the last one is very similar to the ones you found.

Jimmi I appreciate your enthusiasm... I don't see that often any more it seems and thanks for the ideas about the details I left off in the original post... I forget there are lots of ways of describing something and every little thing helps to identify such objects.

I think you may be right AU Seeker I was hoping for something different dunno what but something other than furniture jewelry...

Here is a picture of the back side the thing sticking out is threaded, its pretty thing and made of brass with some kind of coating on it...

Here is a picture of the second one I found it is smaller about 3 inches wide and you can see the coating on it better because I cleaned the dirt off of it.

oh yeah I bet they are pretty old just looking at the design... I'm guessing early 1900's

Appears to be Eastlake design pattern. Charles Eastlake was credited with the style in 1865, though it really evolved after the Victorian furniture era, around 1870-1900, when the craftsman furniture took off. I just restored an old 1883 Eastlake style dresser (marked on two of the drawers, R. H. McAmes, Detroit, 1883. But mine had single post pulls, meaning only one bolt through the drawer front. Two post's were also used, but based on the shape and checked pattern, I'd say 1880s-90s.
