Sorry. Meant to post this in the What is it forum. Trying to figure out how to delete this post...

Cool find. Could be part of a gate latch? Old door lock maybe?
Not for sure but that's what it looks like it might be.

I moved this request from Today's Finds! over to What Is It? for more exposure.

well clearly its mounted to a flat surface and it locks up with another part --the angled design of the stud part shows it acts as some sort of latching device

I believe it is part of a hood latch to a 30s auto.
