OK, this is a 500+ view update. Still NOT sure exactly what it is or what it went to. A few of additional observations are:
1 The "wing" portion has wear marks from being used as a handle. Your hand grips it very nice. You can actually see the smoothness in the pic.
2 The large "C" notch is just over 1 1/2", a pump hose would nest into that opening rather well.
3 The part is definitely engineered and manufactured, very unlikely to be a one off.
4 The part is also aluminum/non spark type material as gas nozzles.
Assuming the oval hole was to lock a gas nozzle to at night and when station was closed it could be to an era before the gas pumps had the gas nozzle holders built in.
Open to any and all ideas or suggestions. For sure a cool piece of metal that survived the scrap man. The mystery continues...
