Brass loop thingy - solved “reins guide” thx!

My first impression is a drawer pull but it seems too substantial for that.

Horse tack?

Any thoughts appreciated, thanks!

rein holder with the threaded post broke off is my guess

I've never found one and probably will never find one where I live, but that definitely looks like a reins guide with the threaded stem snapped off. The uneven wear on the inside edges is where the reins rubbed.

I concur, reins guide. Here's my one and only non-iron reins guide (found a handful of rusty ones). Also known as a "terret".

Thank you Joe, Steve and Teotwawki! Never figured I’d find something as cool as that, appreciated!
