Maybe an old Morse code key??

The area is old...and i actually thought of morse key. But it is thick brass.

it is fairly generic in design,if the rivets were intact we could guess whether is was attached to leather,wood,metal etc.for now its prolly good to say an attachment item.hope someone knows exactly,prolly unlikely.

It looks like a pressed piece.
