Fancy Brass Thing with Eagle

RF1 · Mar 31, 2019

I've been googling to no avail. Appears to be brass with some sort of silver finish. Looks like an eagle in the center. The inside has a threaded hole and I can see the numbers 3220. Found at what I think was a barn location near a civil war era house that was occupied into the early 1900's. Part of a bell?

Top of a bicycle bell, maybe? Pretty cool find!

I thought you guys had IDed my unknown. Doesn't have a screw mounting point so probably not part of a bell. Any more ideas?

Not a doorbell. But it got me in the right direction. It is an Antique Ornate Victorian Corbin Bronze Door Knob Plate. Much better picture from the net.

Thanks for help.
