Top item is made of iron, bottom is brass. Any ideas ?

Oooh oooh, I know I know : It's a ruler made by "Safeway Sign Company". Ok, what's my prize ?? :laughing:

Seriously now : I dunno about the cross-shaped item, but the other item is the internal portion of a pocket knife. And although we think of pocket knives as fairly modern, yet .... I have found those internal base plates at sites and contexts even going back to the 1860s, etc.... So it could be old.

Thnx Tom, I would not have guessed that.

Absolute guess, but if you tied a rope through those lovely holes, the cross end could fall into a slot and be a nice anchor point for a load tie down? For a wagon?

No clue though and have no wagon design knowledge. Just my guess.
