Could be almost anything, I guess, but it looks kind of like the back off an old steel tape measure case:

It reminded me of the back of a fly reel, the kind with a srping inside it. I have an old one at home I will try to find and show to BB.

Your tape measure looks like an old bike bell at a glance. I say a top of a snuff can :icon_scratch: :icon_pirat:

Yeah I think PBK probably has it correct. It makes sense. when I first looked at it I told BB that it looked like something had been moving against the inside of the object with tension on it, hence the markings.

He told me I was crazy.
