Decorative Peice. Pat Jan 6 1874. Need info!

[smf399]

Found this in a 1880s bottle dump. It says Pat Jan 6 1874. The piece next to it broke of a little after I dug it up. Any info would be great.

smf399-I love seeing all of this really cool stuff you've been posting, but when you ask, "What is it?" it would be so much more helpful if you could please post dimensions along with pics. I thought your eagle box was Sucrets sized until you posted the dimensions : )

You are very right and from now on I will do that. The measurements on this relic is 2 by 1and1/2 in. Thanks.

I would agree except for that extra tab. If it was attached to the bigger piece, I would bet it was a drawer pull.
