What is this? Is it a tool?
« on: December 25, 2017, 12:18:18 PM »
Hi,
I received this "thing" in a box lot at a local auction.  I have no clue what it is.  The barrel has a spring inside and the metal knob pulls out under the tension of the spring.

Any clues?

Thanks

Maybe a hood latch from an old car?

Thanks everyone, I agree - car/truck hood latch - I knew I've seen something like this before, but just didn't know what it was.  Thanks all!
