The two arms are sprung so that as you push on the handle they separate, and then return to position.

The black metal part reminds me of my futon couch, has a similar mechanism for when you fold/unfold it. Could this be an arm for some kind of recliner chair?
That seems like an unlikely thing to have a thong on it, though...
Just curious is the thing you call a thong what I call a spring?
No, the thong is the leather loop on the handle
That makes sense. Thanks!
The consensus is that it's a clay pigeon thrower.
I had the same thought, this looks like the handle for a recliner.
