Does this type of "hook/latch" exist?

I want to push a piece of bar stock into it and have it latch in
place.

Light load... maybe 2-3 pounds.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Can you think about turning it 90 degrees and using more like a
hanger? If so it's a "rail hanger":

e.g. http://www.amazon.com/GENERATION-44150-SINGLE-RAIL-BRACKET/dp/B000H5MOUW/ref=pd_cp_hi_0

Thanks, Tim! Looks near perfect. Any idea of the dimensions?

It's for hanging trolley rail (e.g. for barn doors) and the rail is
likely way bigger (1.75" x 2.25") than what you need.

But better to overbuild than underbuild. e.g. Tiny Stonehenge in

I wonder if you can adapt something out of the Newton Instrument
Company catalog:
Maybe this one, see page 260?
