Toy Car???

[asmerri]

I found this clump of encrusted metal last night and let it soak in CLR for 24 hours. It now has taken shape but I have no idea what it is.

That's kinda what I thought as well but if you look at the ends there is a center divider piece that would prevent a bolt from sliding through the ends. Other than that, it definitely resembles a bolt lock.

That is going to have to be cleaned a lot more in order to get a definitive ID .
