Sharps lock plate.

Yep. Original lock plate and worth around $100.

This site has a few of them...

Looks like a 1859 or 1863 lock plate

Yep, lock plates for the percussion models of Sharps, set up for the Lawrence pellet priming system. Interesting idea, although I'm not sure how well it worked.
