Maybe broken from being used to open shell fish.

I'd guess that it is more likely from the "house built for Gallagher" (which may or may not be identical to the water-tank at the Seven Site (http://tighar.org/wiki/Water_tank)).

A clothes- or utensil-hook from the colony makes more sense to me than something from the aircraft.

If it is a coat/hat hook it is more likely this style with a metal plate welded or riveted on.
