I have seen this before, but for the life of me I cannot find an example. It is some sort of pivotal closure/clasp. If I can find a picture of what I am thinking it is, I will post it.

Okay thanks I found it in Gettysburg on private property. Wasn’t sure if it’s anything worth keeping

It may very well be period. Still looking for an example. This one is kicking my back side.

I believe it is half of a vintage window lock.A bevel sash lock.
