Found this a few weeks back. It's brass and about an inch long and just under a half inch wide. Any ideas? Thanks.

Looks like the "tab" that covers the keyhole on an old padlock. William Wilcox & Company. Scroll down to the second pic from the top... http://www.antique-padlocks.com/smoke_wwco.htm

You're right. Here is one from WW&Co I found online. I've found a couple of the WW&Co keyhole covers myself
