🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Found near a foundation in South Central PA. Any ideas?

[Beeps in my sleep]

This was found by a foundation in the woods in south central Pennsylvania. It almost looks like it's the cover to an old lock but the bar on top perplexes me. It's made of iron and I provided tape measure measurements for you. Anybody have any guesses?

I'd guess a trunk latch?

Maybe an old lock or an old door knob plate?

Check if it will crank off a bottle cap.

That slot looks just about perfect.

Pretty sure I could open a beer with it, if I had too

I agree with " Bloney ." A trunk latch.
