Possibly a early version of these:

Your find is definitely a corset busk eyelet fastener. See the US Patent diagram and a photo showing the eyelets on a corset. As the Patent diagram shows, it was invented and patented in 1869. It was widely used from the late-1800s into the mid-20th-Century, when most women decided they'd had enough of wearing a corset.

an old corset clip is my thought.

To be completely fair, corset busk fasteners like this predate the 1869 patent by Heaton. A slight correction is necessary: If you read the patent’s text, his patent is not for the clasps but actually for the stays. The clasps were pre existing and have a longer history in brass composition than just 1869. But yes, that is what this item is and the ID given is correct.
