[flyinryan2]

I found this today, its 1.5" long by 1" wide. It's thin and has a T cutout in it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan.

Checkout my post in the today's finds to see all the CW stuff from today, it may be post CW but with all the CW era finds and history on this property I'm pretty confident it's from the war.

Might be the handle from a wind-up clock. The folding variety. Just a guess...
