I think this is some sort of lock plate? Dug in a 1880's ghost town.

That's a great piece you have - love the eagle cover plate. I'm thinking it is a steamer trunk lockplate - probably made by Eagle Lock Co Terryville CT based on the eagle design over a key and made prior to Civil War.

It looks like it came from a trunk. Neat find.
