This was found very close to Mike at 4-h's reale. Looks similar to a square nail in shap of arm until you get to the point. I was thinking mabe a clock hand Don't know. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Is the pointy end pieces welded back together at the point or do they seperate?

Could be a part inside a pendulum clock. Not a hand.

Magoo, can't see from the scan, but is there any sign of a small pin once going through the tips of the two prongs?

Part of the item is missing from the pics. I would like to see a pic of the rest of this whatsit. A complete picture.

looks like a solder gun tip

 

[Mr. Magoo]

It doesn't look like it is welded and they do not separate. Looks almost like a very old rivet rather than solder. It is held together as one piece.
