What did this bracket hold?

Found this wall bracket yesterday at an old boyscout camp. 3" tall by 2" deep. Probably brass. Weighs 3.2 oz. Any ideas?

Maybe a hook for a clothes hanger from a butlers chair ?

maybe a door bump

Maybe a sword hanger?

That's the male part of a roller catch. Could be anything from the lid of a firewood box to the door of a walk-in freezer.



Here's a modern version

Thanks guys for the input. I think Charlie may have nailed it.
