Default Unidentified C3 part?

I found this in the driveway this morning, certainly looks like it might be from the Vette (71). Can anyone identify?

Agreed. I don't think it's a C3 (or C2 ) Corvette part.

To me it kinda resembles a choke lever found on a small engine, such as a weed eater or go kart.

Doesn't look like a Vette part.
Lawn mower, riding mower? Might try starting them.

There isn't much I haven't had apart on my 77 over the years.

Thanks and good to see that it remains unknown. I feared it might have been from the C3. Drove fine all weekend so I'm not going to worry about it.


Thanks all.

I agree with the others. I have never seen something like that on any one of mine.

Yes, and he's horrible. I'd fire him but his Mother won't let me and he's yet to pull the mower out this year.

I had a lawn service just like that. Thankfully he eventually moved out.
