A gate latch or door latch.

Anyone have an idea about the time this type latch would have been used . I see reproductions of it but nothing s far as a time frame of when it was originally used.

May be an ice box latch.

Other side... and size please.

Almost looks like screen door latch.

It’s brass with iron on the backside

Good pics and ref.

Um I don't think is from screen door... tis odd one it is...

um... perhaps removing the dirt would help to see if there is some sort of mechanism under there.
