    A door knocker, like the one Scrooge saw Marley's ghost in.

      Clue: The face you see on this object is not Jacob Marley's, it's George Washington's, and surprisingly, this object was used in the kitchen. Any ideas?? -Sarah

      It was a lock on the chest containing silver?

      It looks like a latch. Ironically it's a LEMON SQUEEZER. This Patented "George Washington" Lemon Squeezer has George's face prominently cast into the top, as are 13 stars and the patent information. The patent date is July 15, 1873 for this freestanding lever-operated lemon squeezer made of cast iron. Made by G.A. Williams.
