That would be one small toilet seat! It is 1 inch long and looks the same on the other side. DDDano Sverige said:

How about a ceiling light pull? Or is that too modern a suggestion?

I added a couple more pics. There are no threads inside the rounded part. I would say this dates before 1860. It was found at the bottom of an early privy. It could be a drawer pull but it is pretty small. It doesn't look to be broken anywhere. Thanks! DDDeadheadDigger said:How bout a dime or some other frame of reference in the pic please

I KNEW IT WAS A BAD JOKE. I DIDN'T MEAN TO COME OFF LIKE I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU..
I'VE MD'D MORE THAN ONE OLD OUTHOUSE, AND SEVERAL PIG PENS AND CHICKEN HOUSES.
EVEN FOUND A ZINC LID WITH THE TOP HALF OF A MILKGLASS JAR HANGING FROM A WIRE.
COMMON BANKING PRACTICES IN THE OZARKS.
IF WE DON'T LAUGH AT OURSELVES FOR DOING THESE THINGS. WE WILL ONLY HEAR OTHERS
LAUGHING AT US. THE DIFFERENCE IS, WE SOMETIMES LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.
