Part of an old vacuum cleaner maybe? Looks like some kind of cover for an elecrtical motor/fan assembly.

May have been the face plate on the heater in an old car - back when it was an accessory mounted under the dash and not an integral part of the dash.

If it's a truck part, it would have to be an old one. I haven't seen anything like that on any vehicle I've ever worked on -- that would be back to the 60s

Unexploded ordnance?
Whatever it is, esp. if it's automotive, someone somwhere desperatly needs one and would pay through the nose for it.

Looks like the exhaust vent off an old Electrolux Sweeper.

That was fun does anyone else have anyother parts to try and stump us? By the way I think that will make a cool cover.
