Found at 1800's homesite and next to 1940's-1950's house. It's either copper or brass. The disk part can slide up and down to just above and below where the slots are located on the flat, elongated part.

Anyone know what this is?
 
It holds the wick in an old kerosene lantern.

Yup! Kerosene or oil lantern part. Here is one piece that I found this April.
