Found this thing that I thought at first was a pocket watch cover but it seemed too heavy. Any ideas?

I'm thinking a bridle rosette. The two bumps on the back may have held a bar.

I agree, also the bar would have been held in place by a chunk of lead, which is missing along with the bar. Nice find!

Thanks for the input. Any idea the age of it?
