Interesting piece BK. Is that indentation on both sides so that it might serve as a pivot point ?

Jeff, It is a hole clean through and slightly elongated from wear most likely.

Looks like part of a carburetor linkage. Part of the choke unloader.

Looks like a pivoting handle. Like you see on trailers when you attach the trucks ball to the trailer hitch.

The very first thing that came to mind is the arm of an early sprinkler head.

It appears to be a thumb latch to a door handle.

Due to it's small size maybe to a closet or cabinet.

Similar to the ones pictured below.

I think GoodGuy nailed it BK. That's what I was thinking anyway, when I asked if that was a hole for a pivot point. Though I would be happy for you if it was a Roman Brooch !

I don't think that is it, close though. If this was to pass through a door it would need to be longer.

I agree. Also the thumb rest appears to be too curved and too narrow as well.

It sure looks familiar though.
