It looks like a small clock back.

First glance is a pocket watch part, but something looks off.

Why? Why do you want to know? This is great that you have the membership give your find providence for what? Sale? Profit? Not that you have ever replied to any query-why?

I’m thinking it’s the gear mechanism on the back side of a mechanical twist doorbell.

Two or three threads a day...just like this one. Lots of questions, but
not a single hint that Bart has attempted to do any research on his/her
own. Plus, the total lack of response does tend to make ones efforts
feel unappreciated.

No disrespect Bart, but ya need to step up your game a bit.

It might also be helpful if you gave more distinctive titles to your threads. We’re just getting a relentless stream of titles like:

What is it. Age?
What is this? Age please.
What is This? Age?
What is it? Age?
What is it. Please. Age. Please.

Not exactly attention-grabbing and I, for one, have now pretty much given up reading them unless they’re showing a lot of replies.
