My initial reaction was "Bolo Tie". In England?......No way.

could it be some kind of old old button to hold clothing closed.

Could be... I've seen those older long wooden buttons like that, for sweaters and such.

It looks like it covered something, or sheathed over something?

I have no idea.

My thought when I saw that first photo was that it was some type of barrel tap, but then I saw that it is flat in the back. I wonder if taps were ever made in two separate pieces and welded together.

Could it be part of some type of holder??
The lip on the piece you show here seems like a place to lift a cap.

Not a bolo tie, but maybe a slide for a scarf or neckerchief?

Are you a mechanic?

Used to collect antique cars. Too old to play with them anymore.
