✅ SOLVED Old farm find

[Gene Mean]

This was on a farm. Looks like some sort of decorative lid. Any ideas?
This farm has been designated as preserved farmland which is nice here in NJ.
Thanks for the help. GM

Interesting find Gene.. is it pot metal?
I don't see any sign of where hinges attached, maybe part a a kid's savings bank that was pried open?
It's almost too small for that though.

Thanks smallfoot. They don't make padlocks that cool anymore.

That explains all those bits and pieces attached to the back side.
