Trigger or what?

[smittyman]

I can't give you much help with this ID only that it appears to be made of brass or bronze and that it was found on an old (1700's?) property just outside of Philadelphia. Thanks for your help!!

Mostly it's an "or what," not a trigger and not gun related.

looks like it may be broken off of a hat /coat hook similar to this one. So many varieties of these.

Agreed with villagenut.

My guess looking on my cell is a thumb level for a door latch.
