    What are theses tiny things? 5/16ths of an inch in diameter. Black and white enamel on metal. No marks with the exception of a circle and a diamond impression on the "wings" of the stud. Found in a box of my Dad's old tie tacks and pins. Any info welcome. image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg

    Hi Wendy,
    They look like shirt studs.

    I beg to differ - I believe them to be cufflinks, with the back being what is called a "double stirrup".
    There may have been matching studs, but I bet they had regular shirt stud backings.
    But I could be wrong - don't think I am mind you, but I could be.

    Hi Messi,
    At that size they would fall out of the cuff holes. Having 10 sets of shirt studs and over 100 cuff links as well as 7 tuxs, I have never seen a cuff link of 5/16ths at least not for my cuffs. Ladies may have had smaller cuffs but these are guys studs
