🔎 UNIDENTIFIED any idea what this could be? looks like copper, but weighs like brass

[Kype]

some writting on the bottom but i cant make it out. the shape of this object has me wondering what its from. it appears to be broken or flatten out? any help is appreciated. this was found in a yard. the house use to be a general store and a post office in the early 1900s. the town itself dates back to the 1700s.

Don't know if it's too long, but maybe the swivel cover of a lock.

Edited to add: Not all are ornate or marked. Pictures added.

Poker handle?

Maybe a piece (Handle) of broken flatware.....

The SG difference between copper and brass is not much. How did you make that determination?

for the size of the object and how thin it is seems to heavy to be copper.

I like the handle idea... but maybe a lamp part.

Was thinking it could be the tip of knife or small sward scabbard

thanks everyone for your insight on what it might be. here is a picture of the reverse side. the edges appear to be rounded over.

Reminds me of a decorative tassel that dangled from a drawer pull....

Was that piece originally tubular that has been smashed flat or is it a solid piece?

doesnt look smashed down. looks like maybe it broke in half long ways.
