Found this on the original barn find tourer on which I am working. I have never seen another like it.

If it helps, under the Ford script are the letters MW Co.

We have no sense of scale here. Is it a clip to hold a bundle of wires together?

Top marks for Jerry.

It is a loom clip, found on the switch loom. I have never seen a steel one nor one which was crimped around the loom.

On Henrietta there was a clip on each of the three looms. Two were embossed aluminium and the third was brass. These were threaded into the loom fabric cover along the loom rather than crimped around it.
