help identifying shutter/lens combo

[uphereinmytree]

in need of help in identifying this shutter aperture lens mechanism. the aperture plate, brass plate and solid black plate all slide independently in an arc. It looks like a clutch ratchet mechanism for release and the backside of the ratchet has a spring loaded spindle that is actuated by pulling the string. It seems like a box camera shutter. any ideas are appreciated

I haven't really got it to work yet and it may be missing some parts. My girlfriend insists that it's a borg implant

It is from a string set Kodak box camera. Looks like you have the original brass string pull knob which are usually lost.

thanks for the lead. maybe I'll make a box to fit this mechanism and make an image
