Is this a button? How old is it? 0.73 inch diameter. Thank you!

I don't see where the shank was if it is a button. Cool find

It doesn't look like a button to me either. But what is it? It is cool

I could see that as a sleeve cuff button, like here: Brass Hexagonal Sleeve Buttons SL-0023 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce
Edit: dang, those aren’t as similar as I wanted to find, being octagonal rather than hexagonal as they’re described to be.

No shank, but there is a discolored spot smack in the middle on the dirty side where the shank should be.
