What me worry?

Was hunting an early 1900's spot and come up with this. Sure was better than a nail or staple! These r my best pics before battery failure.

The 1st pic has what seems as it may have had a hinge. The opposite side has a spot that looks like it woulda snapped shut. 2nd pic is a side view.. Shopping list....batteries. check

These What Is Its are getting harder and harder as time goes by. There are not so many easy ones here anymore. What key words would a googleholic use?

When you get the camera working again, it may help to post a few more pics. While the 2 pics are good, I cant seem to visualize this thing.

Thanks

Looks like it could the metal spring thing inside the "old geezer's" snap close change purse. You know, the leather one that you squeeze at top to open it, then when you let go, it snaps shut again.........NGE Here, look at 3rd. pic down http://www.emocs.com/coinpurse.htm

You may have it. I remember my grandfather always carried one in his pocket. That was back in the day when change was worth something.

Bigcy, I have since graduated to the "zippered" leather change purse, it will accommodate 10 dollars in clad quarters easily ............NGE

I think this is the item usually referred to as junque or crappe' by the elitist metal detectorists? Me? I haven't a clue. Monty
