NO CLUE WHAT THIS IS FOUND AT 1700's HOUSE SITE, IN THE WATER
hunting riverbank in front of remnants of colonial era house, my friend found this piece well preserved in the mud, no clue what it is, there are letters on it looks like biral??
Looks like a hinge stop for a door, not sure if those have existed very long but that's what it reminds me of, also I think it is upside down in photo, appears to read Jo_ng maybe?

Might be a piece of an early 19th C blackpowder door gun alarm ?
“Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly one's own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.”
I think I have it! It's a "pin" style door stop, meaning you removed one of the hinge pins and re - inserted it through the hole in the stop, then you adjusted the screw containing the rubber stop, to prevent the door handle from hitting the wall.

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

Obviously designed to screw into wood, I think that this would be the proper position for this item, and that the script on it says something like Johm G or John G .. anyhow the first letter is a J and the last a G
My first thought was part of a sewing bird or sewing table clamp. But I can't find any that look even remotely close to this item.

Creskol, thats what I thought to. Now that you flipped the picture and I can see the letters larger it almost looks like it is actually Jo. then two letters and a g, could be ing but jo. ing doesnt seem to make sense.
