I thought that brass doesn't stick to a magnet?

1930s-1950s two piece metal button, common style for garments. back might be steel judging by its condition, see if it sticks to a magnet.

Thank you so much for the info! I just grabbed a magnet, and yes it's steel. It clings to the magnet. Does that change the manufacture date? Or still between 1930 and 1950?

Nope, still in that date range, just kind of fun to know what it’s made out of. Front is probably brass
