brass plate

[creade]

I dug up this brass plate the other day. I have no idea what it would go on. Any idea. I think maybe a desk or some piece of furniture. Its very decorative. It has 2 sets of marks in the back. Any help would be great.

my first thought was swinging door push plate

Without something to reference the size is could be lots of things. Is it the size of your thumb or the size of a door??

Looks like a cut door hinge

I put it next to a nickel for reference

Has the one side been cut off? Or was it made that way?
Kind a looks like a blank outlet cover.

think it is 1/2 of a fancy brass Victorian era finger/push plate off of a set of swinging double cafe´ style doors.

Could you get us the dimensions? Has it been cut off? Did you clean it or did it come out of the ground that color? Was there a church near by or house? Was this found in the US? What state? Elpec Brass comes to mind.

Its 4.5 by 2 inches,not cut off.I soaked it in lemon juice for about 30 minutes then took a brass brush to clean off the dirt. There used to be a house here that was torn down in 1933 ,just a field remains.The area is in n.h. I've been told this might have come off a hope chest. The marks might be the year and maker.

Just a update, I had this looked at. It goes under pulls for a corner cabinet. Its brass with a gold wash on it.
