✅ SOLVED Just need to know what this thing is! It's been bugging me for days now!

Nothing thrilling, but I need to know what this item is and what it was used for. I've strained my brain for days and can't imagine it's purpose. Any guesses would be appreciated.

I still don't see a "screw".

Could be ornamental or is it a spring? Some kind of "shock absorber" for a watch chain or self-adjusting bracelet?

This is a tough one! If only someone could find a photo of something similar...

FreeBird,
I think that DCMatt pretty much gave you the best answer's/examples that you are going to have.
Although not an EXACT match to your piece, I would agree it is a link to a watch chain.
Hundreds were made over the years in just as many styles.
Yours is just one of them.
If you don't think this is a correct ID for you piece.... What do you think it could be??
Give us a different direction to look..

Tommy & me planted this in a location we knew you'd find it. We wanted to see if it caused you to go into fits of OCD!!! So far so good.

Just having fun with Matt. It's probably part of a watch chain.
