Radio part ?? 1968 Dodge Dart AM radio model 248

Does anybody know if this spring steel is part of this radio? I took the chrome front plate off fix the tuner from being stuck and this was on the bench. I am not certain if it was in the radio. It could have been on the bench prior to disassembly. Thanks.
