Wire rope tensioning device

Looks like it could be used for adjusting tension on a cable, but for what? Interesting being made of brass.

Wonder if it is part of a drape or blind system that would allow the cord to be tightened?

I think its part of the pulley for a victorian doorbell system

My grandmother has something like that on her outside clothesline, only it mounts from the bottom, not the side
