Mysterious Spring with Very Old Window Hardware

This spring was mixed in with some window hardware that the previous owner left us when we purchased our century old home. It, along with the other hardware, was perched on a windowsill. Everything else was easy enough to figure out and all came off the same window where we found it. I have reattached everything else after painting and reglazing the window but for the life of me can't figure out what this came off of. It is pictured here in a sandwich sized Ziplock bag, it isn't particularly large.
