✅ SOLVED Thought it was a sewing needle.......

[villagenut]

found this little bugger while sifting a pretty old site a few weeks back and had tossed it in a pile of brass scrap thinking it was part of a sewing needle . I was looking at it closer this evening and saw it has designs etched into the material, and very small details of flowers, dotted lines, slanted lines and crowns. Any idea what this was part of? Front and back sides are similar but lots of wear on the surface. Thanks for lookin vn
