I thought it was a trigger guard, but maybe not?

... isn't a gun part, it looks more like part of a handle or something, whatever it is, it looks to have been riveted to something iron

Brass, whatever it is. I swear I've seen this pattern before but can't place it. No apparent identifying marks.

Been repaired at one point too.
As a cup or stein or similar container ,tea-pot anything ,rivets could be worked from inside the item.
As a trigger guard or thumb piece inlay ,no access from the side rivets needed flattening from.

Did some electrolysis last night to clean off the "rivets", to find they are actually threaded bolts.

Also, there appears to be a seam of some sorts on the underside.

Hmmm...... well..... maybe part of a coat hook? being threaded makes it interesting... I really don't know what it could be though

Yeah I'm at a loss too, and no one in ID ME on Facebook seems to know either.

I found it at the edge of a cornfield, if that helps any.

I think it's the broken off end of a handle of some sort

I'm inclined to agree. Someone I work with says it's cast brass from a mold, based on the seam on the underside. Could it be a vintage throttle lever to something?

Well searching for "antique brass handle" online gives me pretty much nothing but faucet handles..... Thanks google....

In those cases you can add "-faucet" to your search (so, minus whatever you don't want to show up)

Another Item for the "Mostly Brass" What is it Container..
Someday hopefully you will see another or someone will ID it W/O a Doubt.

Thanks for the Brainer-size. LOL

Don't you think its just a broken drawer pull? Footman loop style...

 

[fowledup]

Part of a hand trowel or other small garden implement?

 

[SkaBa]

A one sided cleat?

 

[tamrock]

Busted end of a drawer pull is what it kind a looks like. ??
