What is it?

[IDB]

I eye balled this years ago in a field after house was tore down. Must have been in a shed it was not rusted badly.My first idea was a part of wagon.Let me know what you think . It’s 61/2” tall 51/2”wide the part on back is 2” tall by 1 1/4” wide

A specialty horse shoe or decorative hanger?

Looks like a fancy hose reel to me.

I thought that too but holes are made to be used from front putting the hose looking thing on back plus it’s only 1 1/4” deep

If it's about horses, maybe old longhair knows what it is.

I’ll go back to the 7 prong liver scratcher theory again….. has to be one out there somewhere?

The square bolt holes would have to date that I would think, neat!!!!!

It is definitely not a horse shoe. My guess is that it is a bracket to hold ax, shovel, pick, etc. on side of covered wagon.
