Lid for a beer stein is my guess.

I don't have a clue what it is. There are no identifying letters or numbers. Its non ferrous, lightweight and if you notice there are eight sections with two styles of arrows. Focus on a single section and you will see one arrow pointing left and two arrows pointing right. Obviously a top to something.
I found it at an old home site (early 1900's), between the back door and the well. There is an early 1800's cabin there as well.

Bicycle bell

It just might be a bell, even a door bell...?

I think some door bells I've seen, do have that inner tang sticking out. The guts spin inside and hit that tang to make the bell ring.

Might be part of a door knob

I agree with VHS, possibly a broken doorknob? All the bells (door or bicycle) of the Eastlake or Aesthetic style I recall seeing have either a hole or a threaded portion in the center of the back... which doesn't mean it isn't one.
An inkwell top was my other thought... except without a finial to grab, I doubt it.

This is an inside picture of a vintage twist doorbell yours looks like it except it has no way of attaching unless it was press fit onto another piece?

I checked out some google images on vintage hand crack door bells and it looks like that could very well be what it is part of!
