old lock mechanism?

[Moe (fl)]

Found this two bronze pieces nearby in same area. This area has yielded items from late 19th century to early 1930s.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I agree with you Moe, I think they are lock plates. Interesting finds, Breezie

possibly parts of an old style hand crank doorbell too.... I'll see if I can match it up.
