I am trying to identify this tool, which belonged to my great grandfather. He was a building contractor from around 1900 to 1940.

Looks like a "chinese lock"
That's it! My first thought was that it was a lock, but I assumed I was wrong. :) So that was a huge help. Thank you!
Here's some others posted on CW - I had one but it is sold and I deleted the posting; mine had a nice bird scene engraved on both sides;

I'm sure that my great grandfather must have used it to lock his tool chest. We have several of his tools, but I was able to identify the rest. Thank you again.
