Found these in about 2 feet apart in a field near an mid-1800's cellar hole.
Along with these items ,nearby, I found a silver-plated 'horse tack' buckle and what I think is an 'orthopedic' horse shoe --a typical "U-shaped" horseshoe with a bar forged across the open end... That wrought iron horse shoe needs a bit of electrolysis before I photo and display it.
I suspect that these two brass, 'twisted figure eights' are some kind of horse harness item. Can anyone give me a more specific identification and age range?
Thanks,
