Can someone ID this item?

I found this while hunting near a lake today, rang up 22 on the Nox and has a Waterbury back mark. I can't find any info on it, I thought it was a button when I first dug it , but, it has the 2 stems. Thanks.

Bag seal of sorts?

Looks like an "S".

Sorry Dan, couldn't help it...

I don't blame ya!

I'd say it was a button, just an uncommon wire fixing variant, perhaps for an ornamental button, that wasn't intended to have anything subsequently fastened to it.
I've found ( over here in the UK ) a 'cloak fastener', that had an identical two-wire rear fixing, though the front was more like a hook than a button.

Here's a pic of the back.

Interesting, never found or seen a Waterbury button like before.
Maybe it was modified....

Is it possibly a cap button.

Here’s Waterbury button with similar/same wires on back.
