✅ SOLVED Not From A Ballpoint.

[rick67]

Although it looks like it’s from a ballpoint pen. From a late 1700-1920’s farm field. Back looks almost like a sprocket chain link. Brass.

I tried but I got nothing. Definitely has an old look to it. Maybe some kinda clip for something. I will say if you use your second image to reverse image search on the google you get a lot of phallic art, but I don't think its that haha.

Hi rick67

I keep thinking this is a very old Car Door Handle.

It would require knowing if this handle would turn a shaft to activateÉ

Its almost like a tiny handle for an old icebox

Think you nailed it. Would have been leather attached.

I would guess it to be a type of express hook. They were used in horse harnesses. Often riveted to leather or a steel band. There were many designs. Here is a photo of one style.

This one possibly could be from colonial times. I found one once upon a different life ago on a Rev War battlefield.

That's a great ID.

It's called a scabbard locket.

This one is a reproduction for a Brown Bess scabbard:

I was thinking a wing window lock, but it looks like it has already has an I.D.
