Hidy Del . It looks like the overall buttons do on back . Just a big blob of rust . I found another piece there today , with it and the 6-pointed star thing that was so hard to clean up . When I cleaned it up it looked like nickle , but after it layed on the table for two days it has turned gold looking . But I am starting to think it might have been some of them Who-Do folks lived there in the 1800s .
