Find Im hoping to identify

[JHof88]

New to the forms but have been beaching comb for a few years now. Found this last fall on the shores of Lake Erie, just west of Erie, PA. Curious to see if anyone has thoughts or ideas on what it is or where to find more help to identify it.

That is a very interesting find, JHof 88.

I found this article that may or may not be of significance regarding your find, but it is an interesting article .

Where did you find this item? ...on a beach, in the water, or in the ground?

Found on the shore, washed up after a fall storm.

Needs size to scale reference

5.25" x 3.5" . I thought it was made out of copper. The CWGerm wraps around and has what I think is an "o" on the end also though it maybe a sloppy "q", not sure.
