Brass Doohickey

[mlw67]

Can anyone figure out what this brass doohickey might be?

I suspect it may be partially bent, but no surfaces indicate that it is broken at all.

It measures about 3.75" long, and both hole areas are marked "1395".

Thanks for looking!

Here is a different track. Perhaps it is a striker off a cast victorian match holder? Possible?
As far as being a doohickey, i've never seen a picture of one. What do they look like?

Kinda looks like part of a old window lock. Not the windows that slide up and down but the ones that swing out.

I'm just glad to finally get one right!

Another notch in that gun, and there won't be anything left but the trigger!

It looks like a coin slot from an old turn of the century arcade machine or slot machine. That was my first thought, but then I just came back from the casino. lol
