✅ SOLVED 1825 QUAKER SQUARE - WHAT IS THIS BRASS THING

[VERMONTIS]

My Quaker Square site was a race for time today! Corn Planter was chasing me around the field and I don't mean the Seneca indian Today must have been lamp parts and clock parts. A broken spoon or fork ,musket ball ,some really cool pottery and glass. then this thing .I'm thinking brass ,one edge is straight like its finished other looks broken. Pretty heavy for size .Any help would be appreciated=ED

That is part of a bushing (journal bearing), it is broke in half where the screw went through that holds it in place.
Cant say what its from but Ive cut many out of different heavy equipment.
