found in cellar hole

Found this today in a cellar hole. I know what it looks like but was hoping someone could confirm (or deny) my assumption, please.

Solved, ice box or window latch it is. Thanks!

That's what I think it is.

Might be a latch off an old ice chest.

yeah ice box latch or similar, I'm guessing you were thinking rifle lever maybe?

Most likely an icebox latch from the days before electricity, when a refrigerator contained a chunk of ice.
