ID help needed

I originaly thought this was a shoe buckle when I dug it earlier today. But now that its cleaned up im not covinced that it is. If it is its unlike any I have ever seen. Any thoughts?

Maybe part of clock works .

 

[mainer]

Wouldnt rule that out. Thank you.

Also could be part of a burnt transformer

I,ve dug one of those before, Mainer but threw it in my junk box. No idea

 

[Dave44]

I have dug 5 of those I think. I assumed thgey were part of a clock,, seems I have one with gears attached? I hope it is something really cool, like auto civil war boot scrapers or something, designed by Ben Franklin? Fingers crossed

Clock guts. I have a bunch...some with a few gears still on 'em.
