✅ SOLVED Can anybody tell me what this is .. other than a generic clevis?

It seems to be fixed, so the attachments don't rotate. The central part is solid, and very heavy, non-magnetic and looks by the patina that it may have been brass plated lead in its original state. Sort of a fancy little thing. Thoughts?

I trust that CRESKOL knows what he's talking about but that sure doesn't look like lead. It just looks like brass in the picture.

It is lead, and has a hint of brass coating. It also is substantially heavier than solid brass of equal size would be.
