Does it pivot or come apart or anything or are the two pieces rigidly connected?
Pivots and it is two pieces that can be separated

Some type of hook for a rope with a knot in it ?

Yeah, I was thinking latch or cleat too...
I'm pretty sure that's a cleat. Loop in rope through the open end and take the loop to the other end.

Not a bad guess!
But why the floating hinge? OP states it's 2 pieces but it sure looks like once it is screwed down to a flat plane, the second part becomes secure and floats up and down.
Tried looking up ROCH NY...guessing that's Rochester, New York, the manufacturer location...and PINK's is the name of the company?
I came up hi and dry on any more surfing research....

Came up empty handed with my googling, searching with Pink’s just turns up pink things

I’m thinking nautical too. Maybe a mast end quick release attachment for a spinnaker pole?
Possibly I know he use to have a cabin on Lake Michigan I believe

That is New Rochelle, NY. There is a Rochelle in Florida and another on Illinois.

The spinaker pole pushes against the mast This thing looks like you would have to pull on the top piece to make it wedge tighter on that 3 hole base. Maybe the outboard end? That open ring doesn't look very secure for just a knot. This a good one.

I think it is some kind of wall hanger. The open ring attaches to whatever it was made to hang. The 3 hole plate is on the wall. Slip the top piece onto the plate and the more you pull down the tighter it wedges. Lift up to unhook. It is very secure and you don't have to lift very far to get it off.

It's a clothesline hanger. They were on my garage. A "cleat" as the guys said.

Who's Rochelle? they make...errr made... stuff in Rochester.
Probably the entity at 40 Silver street in the 50's known as Pink's Products Corporation, or Pink's Pattern & Foundry.
