What is the diameter? Is it brass? If not, does it attract a magnet? Does it have any type of lip on the edge that could have held a mirror or reflector?

I think it is a spike paper holder. Used to put them on a desk to hold receipts or other papers. The paper was pushed down over the spike and held in a stack. That pin or spike is bent. It would have stuck straight up, or vertical.

I'm thinking an old motorcycle mirror or old truck mirror.

Yes, I was thinking that too, which is why I asked about the edge, but the mirror rim could have fit over the edge of this piece. I could also have been a mirror on a bicycle. Breezie

While I'm sure this is true, we're glad that you weren't.

I meant to say that I agree with a bicycle mirror, but apparently got distracted...
Does the rod pivot in the post on the back of the frame? (may take some oomph or oil), or at least does the rod have a ball type end that looked like it would have pivoted?

Ok I am back. The piece is made of iron. The rod does pivot. There is no lip on the edge of the round piece. Thanks for all of the ideas!:-)
