It is something from a counting device. The gear or ratchet on the side tells me that. put a few more pictures from different angles and add a coin for a size comparison. I do think some type of clock part.

Looks like a spool for some sort of ratchet reel

More photos of all the ends and sides, etc. please

But I will venture a guess, it could be a spool off of a small come-along, the hole would be where the cable would be anchored.

For tightening electric fence wires. I have them on all my fences. An older version maybe?

I was going to guess a winder from a camera or clock.

I also was thinking of an old typewriter. Like when you roll the paper into place and each ratchet would move the paper one line. There are so many different things it could be from.

Maybe part of a spring-loaded screen door hinge. The hole in the side is where the spring connected.

While ratchet strap/comealong or fence tensioner do look similar, this item is brass I believe. Not sure if either of those applications would use a soft metal.
