What the heck is this?

I've sat in front of this computer toooooo long. I can't believe I'm jumping in on this thread, and this thread is still going. Cabin Fever is running high. Ok, here goes. It's a simple door or drawer latch that attaches to a lockset for locking off an old metal cabinet or desk drawer, maybe off an old fire proof file cabinet. It's a latch of some kind. I've been in the office supply/machine business for 33 years, and seen a bunch of similar pieces over the years. Think about your teachers old metal desk that was manufactured in the 50's or 60's. Maybe that old cabinet that supplies were kept in at school or any old government building. They were built to last back then. Now, we think an old piece of aluminum from an old lockset is a high-tech widget?

That is still vague. It might be this. It's probably this. I actually had a genuine interest in finding out exactly what it was. I guess there will always be haters to hate, more than a few in this thread.

Did I type something to piss you off? Haters to hate? I was having a little fun before I ventured out of the house today? It looks like a latch off a thousand old locksets I've seen. I'll delete the post if you'd like? But I would like to know what all the hates about?

lol no I'm not pissed. There have just another post "Ok, these threads are nothing more than post count increasers !!!!" I was just saying that I really legit want to know what it is. Usually I can google the crap out of stuff but I really exhausted my searches and figured with the widely diverse group of people on here someone probably uses one of them on a daily basis. :) Some people have gotten close but still no cigar.
 
I don't know what it is.

I say drop it in a pillow case and use it as an improvised butt whooping widget. You never know, you might run into Junior 357 at an Eastman show and accidently look at him wrong. You won't have your primary weapon with you because it's an Eastman show and they won't even let you touch the guns that are for sale much less carry one to protect yourself. No sweat though.....BOOM unknown widget to the nuts. Junior folds like a cheap Mexican accordian and you take it to the house.
