Brass doo-hickey?

[NOLA_Ken]

Found this thing today and even though I'm sure it's nothing special it's irritating me that I don't know what it is. I'm absolutely sure I've seen another one just like it which just makes it even more annoying. So.... I finally decided to stop looking at it and post it here and let it irritate other people too.

Maybe it's a vintage typewriter key arm?

Almost looks like part of the linkage to an old carburetor....the end with the round hole is the pivot and the slotted end possibly for a choke adjustment?

It is a leaverite

Yeah, I'm stumped. It's still sitting on the table mocking me, so I guess I'll chuck it in the junk can
