✅ SOLVED Any ideas on this?

I found this along side CW relics and also old house hold items too. Any ideas on what it may have been used for? It appears to have been broken or missing some part or piece of it possibly. Thanks for looking.

Reminds me of the guts of an old busted pocket knife.

Maybe a lid stay.
Kind of like this, only an older one.

Yep. Certainly looks similar

That's a pretty good guess
