im thinking it part of a retainer for concrete forms.


like the kind you'd use when you pour basement walls or foundations

dozer may be correct but I dont have time to search for a pic. Something like this maybe., http://www.dhcsupplies.com/store/p/422-Hairpin-Forming-Wedges-Used.html

Dozerdan,
That was my first impression. If it isn't, It would make
a good concrete form tie end.

ALAMOTX,

Looks like it is a 'keeper' or clip to hold two items together. Each would have a bump or depression that the similar feature of the mystery piece would fit in. Don't know about the four other small round features. Is it springy?

Looks like a finger pull for a pocket door to me. For you non-architect students....pocket doors were very popular back in the day because they actually slid into and out of the wall.

NOT a match, but will get you in the "ball park".

I dont think so. I installed a quite few pocket doors but cant recall one like this. Only an exact pic will convince me. Good idea though.

What would the slot be for?

I've done some renovation work on old homes and seen similarly designed pocket door pulls.

The slot would be a perfect Dust collector?? Tooth pick holder??
