✅ SOLVED Possible antique scale weight?

[invent4hir]

All, found this possible antique scale weight near the site of a former general store. On the first picture there appears to be a circle in the lower half with an upside down 2. However, it is not iron like most I've seen on the internet. It is also non-magnetic and feels light weight for its size, almost like aluminum. Any input on the ID and/or age is appreciated.

Might be a shim of some type.

I would say shim or spacer.

Gents, thanks for the inputs. A shim or spacer was my second guess.

If you look at these weights for this scale, I think this may be it. They used them on meat scales.. https://www.google.com/search?q=ant...AUIDygC&biw=983&bih=707#imgrc=Cq4AEov7QDTAcM: The longer I looked at it, the more I'm thinking shim also... The cut out on the scale weights were not that wide.....Just eyeballin it from your pics, it looks to be about 1/2" wide....

Funny. People are suggesting the part in your other thread might be a hood latch.
I'm gonna suggest this might be part of a hood latch.
