I found this buckle today and can't figure what it was used for or how old. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

never seen one like that.... maybe the extra loop is for another strap or to hang something off of...just a guess..
It looks like a Breeching strap buckle from a driving harness. (bottom/center of image below)

Another possibility is a Tug Trace buckle. The pictures below show belly straps, hence, the double loops shown on these examples. Some harnesses don't use a belly strap on the driving harness(Plough Harness for example) and would only have one loop for the 'neck strap' or 'front suspenders'.
