...but I cannot remember what it was ID'd as. Horse tack? It's small and heavy. Thoughts?

Especially if it's for horses...

What context was it found in, near a lake, a barn, an old city lot?

I was trying to think where I've seen it before as I have dug one before and cannot find therefore I was thinking broken scissor handle because apparently I did not keep it but its not. Sorry about that.

Glad to see a positive ID on this piece and that this hasn't devolved into another 'Sword Hanger' thread!! :lol:

You know, on that topic I would like to see a thread on some ACTUAL sword hangers. I've found one, but I believe they varied in style. These gag loops/gag runners are a pretty common find in my neck of the woods - sword hangers, not so much so!

I know I've seen one before...
