It's the brass drop (keyhole cover) from a padlock. The M W & Co. mark is that of Mallory, Wheeler & Company of New Haven, Connecticut. c. 1865-1910, the largest manufacturer of padlocks during that era.

Is my memory correct? You made a similar ID of the same object about a year ago, when you had a different 'logo'.
Nice call--again.

Right you are, Don!

When similar or identical items pop up, it's easy to locate the original post via "Search" and then cut & paste the info, photos, links, etc.

Not sure about the "different logo," but I'm guessing you're referring to this old avatar:

Ahh, thought so; and yes, that is the image I remember. I'm also glad to see at least one of my bodily functions--recall--is still working.

Same here!

I can find the "age" in "advantage"... but not always the advantage in age!
