A piece from an old mechanical piggy bank?
It reminds me of a bank I saw a few years ago,when coins were deposited a fish rose from the bank
We all know the area code for heaven is 406
Dear JC,
It sure look like a line of some sort should be running through the head of the fish like it was a counterweight on some kind of chain pull or maybe on window blinds?

It's an early version of a Rapala. They haven't quite figured out where to put the trebles yet. The holes were drilled in an attempt to make it a top water lure - - -this method is based on the logic of - - - very tiny rocks do float and thus so do ducks....from the Holy Book of Antioch.

My observations are that it obviously doesn't rotate because it is one sided. The slot is for some use.
Could it have been inside a door?

It looks like a strange kind of knife hilt to me.

Ancient Sumerian Bottle Opener
Castwell,
That is clearly an ancient Sumerian bottle opener. They are seldom found. It is speculated that shortly after the Sumerian's conquest by the Hittites, who had already invented screw-tops, the entire manufacturing base of the Sumerian bottled beverage business collapsed. No reason has yet been uncovered by any archealogist for such an industrial disaster. Some believe the writing found on an inverted plate from 2300 BC -- "
ispep, ekoc ton" -- may relate to it.
