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

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.
