Would someone please identify this for me. I have found them before. I found this one at a homesite that was old enough to have a cistern which by the way is all that remains. Thanks. HH

I don't think it is a button. I forgot to mention it is made of lead.

Yep hem weight. Sewn into the bottom of curtains or dresses to prevent them from blowing around.
