Lock latch

[Nathan W]

I feel this is a latch of some sorts. It’s decorative and it’s not iron. It’s shiny in spots and has green patina in small places

You need to give that one a bath, then we see the fine details.
Looks like an interesting recovery, well done. 👍

More I look at it maybe it’s a peep hole

Does look like a deadbolt (a kind of latch).

Did you just tell yourself to be patient? I like it.

Well ok-guess I shouldn't hold that against ya.
Nice backing plate for a door handle-not sure how the bolt/slide worked though.
Wonder if there was a thumb latch release on the inside?

Pretty sure that is for a door with a push bar. Like they used to have in schools.

Hmmm, so there was two? One on each side of the door. I guess the lock went on the inside of the door through round latch hole

I'm picturing something like the item in the lower left. Only old. And slightly different. LOL But you get the idea.

I cancel what I thought I hadn't enlarged the photo, I thought the rectangular spot was a hole through the piece.
