Odd circular thing

rbcumbee74 · Dec 20, 2013

Found this hunting this am and it has me stumped as to what it can be, looking for some insight. Is it a button or piece of furniture?

Okay,

I've now come armed with 24 oz. of Hot Java. What am I missing?

I agree, not enough weight to hold down a hem, as it has a hollow underside, so I'm going with a ribbon stay or clothing/headdress accessory. Sub 8-)

It's not a hem weight, they were made of lead, not stamped brass. It looks like a small sash slide.

I disagree on a hem weight too. Too thin. Would be lead. Or at least all the ones I have dug are lead.
