It's not so corroded to ID, it just happens to be pretty generic and could have been from many different things. It's pretty obvious it is a hasp or part of a latch for a lock. It has a unique design though so that could help narrow down what it is from but it will be very similar to IDing a hing. They were used on lots of things and many were fancy but rarely were they style specific enough to tell what they came off of.

ed, I hope you have a tiny bit of comment remorse. It's not like the double post is filling your inbox with junk mail. Maybe the OPer thought he was in a different thread when he posted the 2nd time. Deep breaths.
 
My sailboat has two of these on the sides at the cockpit and they are used to lead the sheets to the Jib sail. They sit just forward of the winches and properly position the sail and its set based on the tightness of the sheets. Now mine are made of stainless as they are constantly wettened from the spray and of course wet sheets or lines as lubbers say.. Guess they might have stamp steel made them but brass or stainless in more modern vessels.
