cabinet door latch, possibly from an old house boat. Lots of possibilities.

See my post above .. IT is a twist/turn catch as shown above, with many applications from buggy curtains to women's purses. I have never seen this type of latch used on a cabinet.

I remember winter grille fronts that latched like that in the 80's. Would come with a bag of turn locks similar to these to attach to your grille.
