Yes I think thats it. Chest or tool box. Maybe even a sewing machine or old school desk. I couldnt place it but it looked familiar. Its a stop so you cant open it too far.JimDon said:Looks to me like a glide/hinge for a chest. The metal spike is mounted into the wood case and brass is screwed into the top. Just a guess.
Ah! great idea Thanks No idea on the piecevayank54 said:I don't have the slightest idea what that thing is but next time you want to straighten brass try boiling it in water for a while then pull it out and straighten it. You may have to straighten it a bit at a time and put it back in the water a few times. I've straightened all kind of things like that including civil war buckles. It might leave a bit of a discoloration where you bent it but at least it won't be broken . You just have to be a bit patient and careful.
