4I believe it's a picture frame hanger but I'm not able to find a reference for this exact style. – jwh20 Mar 17 '20 at 10:45

It's a "fangs" style fastener- I use similar styles to hang junk in my cubicle. The teeth latch on to the foam board in my cubicle walls, or it could also be used to grab the foam backing of a picture frame. Found it on amazon by googling "Eye Fastener for Foam Board"

The hinged nature of the part makes me think that it may be part of a box latch of some type. The part shown may be designed to snap onto a plastic or metal part box lid.
The working nature of the latch would be similar to this:

I don't think this correct, but a good guess. I think the teeth are ment to be hammered into mdf or something. But I'm really looking its proper name – PaddyD Mar 17 '20 at 12:30
