Tanto54 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 It looks like a clasp for a tobacco pouch. 2 Quote
Ford Hallam Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 As George suggests it's a tobacco pouch clasp. The clue is the little oval hole in the back-plate. When mounted the decorative element would be on the outside of the leather or fabric and the backing plate inside, with the rivets passing through the material to lock the two plates together. This image may help to explain how it worked. The metal looks to be brass, with a little bit of silver on Mt Fuji's summit. 2 Quote
