Here's my guess again Scotto, I think its a choke wrench for a shotgun. Maybe a can find mine and download a picture to post. TX JED

Ok Scotto, Heres the picture of a recent style Remington choke wrench.

Maybe it's a weird belt buckle? What's it made of? If it's iron, then disregard my guess. LOL

 

[montepollock]

I s an end broke off?,doesn,t look like it in the pics,but could have been ground off.
My guess is an attachment for straps that has broken,then someone altered it to make a Kind of Wrench Known as a "pin,or End spanner"
Often used by gunsmiths cutlers and for other purposes as well.I have also seen them on display cases,and Paper towell racks in commercial Bathrooms.
And again I could be wrong,it has been known to happen.

It may be iron, it's rusted pretty bad. Hard to tell if broken, I don't know what it was in the first place.

Some kind of a sight?

Radiator key...Peice missing..

 

[scotto]

Man, you guys sure have come up with some good guesses! It seems awful thick and made out of iron for some of them.

It looks alot like 1/2 light fixture mount plate.

That is the first thing I thought of, as I was an electrician for years, but it is not.

 

[montepollock]

I knew I had one here it is,later it was said the metal was to thick for a key,so probly a wasted pic.
My next guess would be a Web belt plate to mount to chassis or cab of vehicle?(I have no pic of that though)

Without seeing it in context,I would have thought a Key for Napkin dispenser,as it was found in a commercial area.I do not have that type of knife but have a Buck sheath knife that used a 2 pin spanner on pummel(buttcap),I had to make one from flat screwdriver.
Thanks for the unarguable ID,and Welcome to Tnet.
