I think your on to something there AARC,a tie clip crossed my mind but couldn't think of how it would have been worn.Never heard of a double tie.Wonder what The m.P might stand for.Military police,member of parloment?

Maybe its a cuff clip.

Are you sure that it reads 'MP'? Could it be 'TIP' ?

Either cuff link or tie clip.

This is one of the patents showing that that they were designed to be a cuff holder / adjuster, as suggested above: Patent US333485 - Cuff-adjuster - Google Patents
