Found at my 1800 house. With 5 12 gage shell caps.
Ant help would be great.
Thank you,
 

Looks like trigger mechanism to me.

Could be wrong but looks like part of a hammer mechanism from a firearm. Pretty neat find!

what you got there, is a powder flask mechanism.

Colorado - I think you're on the right track. Gate to a powder or shot flask. But it would help to have some indication of the size.
