what ever works

We found several flat buttons like the one on the left at a old foundation .
The object on the right is the size of a half dollar
It seems to have a lead back ,its heavy The front is smooth with beveled edges.
There is no shank on the back but something was mounted to the back , slightly off center.
If it is a button how old might it be.   Thanks Mike

    I would say a picture of the back would help Smiley
