Looks like a tie tack.

Yup. The bar goes through a button-hole on your shirt while the other end pins through your tie.

Personally, I'd like to wear one, but I don't think I could ever bring myself to stick a pin through any of my ties

Yup, tie tack.

I have a number of these and like to use them only on woven ties--that way I don't worry about causing any permanent damage to the tie.

I like to use them to add a little 'lift' to the tie, giving it a little more 'interest'.

Most of mine are inherited or thrifted with a few that I don't wear because they are a little loud.

A nice alternative to the tie bar.

cheers
