Is it a Jiffy snap?

If not what is it called?

Thanks

Come on someone knows.

Is it a secret?

It looks like an older kind of 'durable dot' fastening similar to those used on boat covers... but what do I know?

I assume that if you're calling this a snap, its closing a flap rather than fixing the two bits of leather together. If this is a snap as opposed to a rivet, there should be some more 'male' and 'female' bits visible. Any chance of posting pictures of the other bits? Then we could try to tell whether it is magnetic, uses a round spring or an 's' spring, etc, etc and hopefully at least narrow the field for you.

That is the only photo I have.

It is without a doubt a snap.

It appears to be a round outer receiver and a dot/post that fits in the middle of the reciever. I assume it has some sort of spring that hold it in place just as a line snap would.

It could be a "Lift the Dot" Fastener commonly found on boats. Try: http://www.sailrite.com/Categories/Lift-The-Dot-Fasteners
