Looks like a broke whistle.

Kind of has the looks of pewter. No idea what it might be for though.

Maybe a piece broken off a toy car/truck?

Looks like a broke whistle.

It could very well be a mouthpiece to an old pewter whistle.

I think the pewter whistle theory is the most promising! Thanks so much for the help guys. I did not know pewter got a very similar patina to lead, good to know!
