Found this at a circa 1824 home. Stamped SL & Co. Gold guild along bottom edge but appears it went around entire piece at one time.
Brass plate with Eagle on it

Very interesting.
Perhaps some type of ornamental latch, like something from a jewelry box?

I did a search online pertaining to the war of 1812, for 30 minutes, and couldn't find anything like that. My advice would be to track down an expert on that war and see what they say.Found this at a circa 1824 home. Stamped SL & Co.

I think I remember seeing something like that in an older Hoover Boys video. Part of a briefcase or medic's field kit. Don't quote me on this...
Part of carpet bag clasp. Local coins' comment sparked my memory.
