Looks like a pocket watch piece but seems a little thick/heavy. Interesting.

very good eye. Now if we could just see the year...

I was trying to turn it upside down...

My guess would be a timer or a pump part.

I have a few vintage reels kicking around, they were made a lot smaller back then.
This is from the 30's,
it's a bit larger than the questioned item, but that 3 hole pattern is the same.
PS, Had A Great Season Fishing this Year !
My ideal schedule: MD: 6 days
Fish: 1 day
