Please help identify.
Found this on the banks of the river. Been finding stuff around the 1800's in this area if that helps.
Thanks in advance!

Old deadbolt type door lock

An old style keeper for french doors. They would go on the top and/or the bottom of the stationary door.

Very good find, nice latch. Could have been on 47 different doors, hatches, or drawers. Tony

Could have I guess, but not to many things that I know of, other than french doors, used a mortised in slide bolt, especially with such a small diameter pin.

I've found similar ones on shutters and tip out windows down here. It's a nice one. I'd restore it and save it until I had a job that I could charge 50 or 60 bucks for "restored vintage hardware" on.... I have a couple buckets of old latches and locks, some people are willing to pay up to have period original hardware....
