Hi Patrich, I can not tell without seeing this in real time,
 but it appears to me it might be some form of double escapement  =
feature for the upright.

  Hello All: I have take in an upright with an unusual hammer butt, =
which is shown in the attached jpeg. It has a little lever coming from =
the back of the catcher, which catches the tip of the jack after letoff. =
It is actuated by a spring. I plan to replace the butts, unless there is =
some unknown reason for keeping these oddities. Anyone seen anything =
like this before? It is off of a 1885 Sohmer, a family heirloom.  =
Thanks, Patrick
