Copper alloy
Possible Door Fitting. Possibly part of a lock. A cast rectangular plate with a stepped edge. On what is taken to be the internal side, a semicircular ridge with a lug at either end stands proud of the surface. Centrally to this feature a short pin protrudes. A countersunk screw hole at one edge of the plate has a diameter in excess of 2mm. The finder observes this fragment is probably machined. Suggested date: Modern, 1930-1960.
Length: 26.2mm, Width: 18.7mm, Thickness (clear of internal features): 1.5mm, Weight: 5.93gms.
