Here another one for the I haven't a clue file

Here is another of those I haven't a clue type items. Found it today in a friends yard. Any help or suggestions are always welcome.

door latch, like the left item in my pic but yours has a straight piece instead of the thumb thing

Is this a solid piece of iron, or are there hole(s) in it? Thanks for including the ruler in the photo, sure helps with the scale.

Solid Iron, pretty heavy, no holes, no flatten areas. the straight end is rounded about the diameter of a sharpie marker.

thats what happens when your raised in a house built in 1792, it still has latches like this. This one looks very old maybe 1830s or older, nice find!

It does in fact look like a door handle, my only hesitation is.....is that the number 1 stamped in the middle? blends in with pocks and divets but def. looks like it, if so this would be right on the side of the handle, a wierd place for the stamp which would lead me to possibly searching for another conclusion maybe.
