Not saying it is but shape on back suggests to me a latch of sorts. Diary or briefcase,suitcase,trunk?

 

[flyadive]

Probably correct Releventchair !
I just have to be sure, no doubts !

Nothing wrong with that and thanks for sharing,you turn up some neat stuff. H.H..

Yup ...that's it for the hinge Releventchair !
How about that pin? Seems to be missing something in the center ? Their was a pin through hole ??



Using the hinge to prop it up......
(I hate it when people use their pretty little hands to show their finds!
Just me I guess)!

L.o.l. I,m confused now. Your piece is solid on back,allowing use like suitcase latch. Its hinge piece kinda like your standing pic, fit in between two other pieces with a pin through them all.Pin came out and your piece made a run for it. Your last pic.,the eyes on loops make no sense,to me, even if allowed to be pinched to pass through something,why? unless maybe a strap end on a book/bible I don,t know. Sorry.
