Sorry, My insanity escapes sometimes. It is a cool piece. Good Luck on finding the real purpose.

It looks like a latch, one of those kind that work on the "over center " principle

Looks like part of an old window slide/weight attachment.

The part that is on your pinkie looks like it attaches to a cable and the part that attaches to the one piece that's cracked would have been at a different angle. .Can you clean it up some more and show us some more angles.

 

[DigIron2]
