Nice finds. I would also have said it was a latch for the old little triangular front seat car vent windows

Looks like a latch from a wing window on a 60's-80's Chevy.

FROM THE WEB:
Whatever happened to "wing windows"? I would suppose many of you have no idea what I am talking about but for those of us who have driven or at least recall being front seat passengers in cars made prior to maybe the mid-70's, cars had wing windows. They were small triangular shaped windows at the front of either side of the front seat. Basically, front car windows were largely rectangular and then the wing window fitted in the angled part of the door that would meet up with windshield frame.

Window wings were good for:
1. Smokers
2. Letting in a nice draft of air directed where you wanted it
3. Breaking into your own car easily
