Cru may have a good guess. We just had a bullion weight here. Each dot represents a pennyweight (dwt). http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,294377.0.html

It should weigh about 6 grams for 4 pennyweight. http://www.metric-conversions.org/weight/pennyweights-to-grams.htm

looks like a catch for a twist style latch. it may have a seperate latch that when in closed position, rests between the humps

This seems more probable than the bullion weight. The edges on this artifact are not straight asthe bullion's are.

The weight would prove it either way. Then we can move on to other research.

You can get a pair of digital scales for about $10, well worth the money. I use mine all the time.

Do you have a brand name suggestion?

Not really, most are now made in China, so not much difference.
