Tom from our club found this and we thought it might be a suspender clip.
It says magic clasp.
Any thoughts?

I found similar examples online, but none mentioned what they were used for. Other than Pinterest, which suggests they are 1930's sweater rope ends I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along shortly, cool relic!
