🔎 UNIDENTIFIED I have no Clue........

[TheGroundHog]

Dug this a couple of weeks ago at a 19th Century home site.

Its cast brass no marking.

Maybe a door latch?
Clock piece?
Gun piece?

Any help is appreciated.

My Best,
Anthony

Looks like part of a pocket door latch. Just a wag.…

My guess would be part of a door latch

Would be my guess too.

Agree. Part of the guts of a mortise lock, to be specific.

Good job, DC.

I agree it's part of a latch.
But not part of a mortise lock.

Child safety locking mechanism for some kind of door or drawer.
