Its clearly a Pre-1800's East Coast Fidget Spinner prototype. The Ball Bearing Race design wasn't patented until 1794. Pryor to that the "Fidget Amusement Device" was much more boring and hadn't caught on yet.
Nice find!!!

It's a set of keys to a horse buggy. Solved.

The pic is good but a little blurry when i enlarge it. It sure does resemble the F/S adjustment on clocks at first glance but nothing else looks like a clock.... besides it being round. I guess the post keep it from turning only so far? What is that holding them all together? A rivet?

my shot in the dark maybe a set of gauges to fine tune the gaps on spark plugs

the shank would have a chain or string attached to it... but really I don't know

No, most of us do not think its a clock part.

... I'm assuming that the post going through that small disc (next to the slot) goes through the center disc and anchors into, but not through, the third disc?

Yea I was wondering that too. How does it anchor to a thin piece of copper but we cant see it on the other end?
