Not a Button but Some Type of Fastener--What is This?? Nice Forum for Reference and Talk

 

Ironic that I am reaching out to you wonderful folks and see that this forum may close!  I have been an eBay seller for quite some time and I happened upon this board or category by accident.  Perhaps eBay would consider keeping this if it was more visible.

 

Maybe I am just a bit dense--and yes, I probably am 🙂  but the whole Community Boards/Categories are very confusing to me and finding these little niches is hard.  I would guess that many, many button sellers would love to have a place to talk and ask questions if they knew about it.  Just a thought...

 

I bought a junk jar full of buttons and belt buckles, etc. and these two fasteners were in there.  I thought perhaps someone may have seen this as I have no idea what it is... Can you help?  

 

It is about 1 3/4 inch square and look like brass, then maybe a green glass surface with inset green rhinestone horseshoe.  The back is something like a clip fastener.  It is marked only Trade Mark on the back. If you grasp the two ends of the fastener they open and come together so to fit perhaps in a button hole or on a shoe?  Sorry it's so dirty--it is in good shape.  The 2nd one on it's back, so to speak, has broken glass.

 

Thanks much and good luck with this board!!  I have already found so much useful information in the posts!!
