Horse spur?? It's 2-piece, that's what stumps me....thoughts?

Found in an area where there were lots of old horse shoes and Indian Heads.

Handle

Possibly a handle off a shovel

Boot spurs, but the spur is missing.

Some type of bracket made to clamp on something square or rectangular. probably from some old horse drawn machinery.

It looks similar to the yoke on this kids wagon.

My first thought was a spur, but after a better look, I'm wrong. I believe you got it right.

It's not a spur. A spur would never have a carriage bolt and square nut through it anywhere.

To me it looks like maybe part of a gate latch.

This was my exact thought also. Many of those wagons were actually work related and built heavy. They also got hijacked by the youth and used as toys. The tongue connection to the wagon configuration varied, depending who built the wagon. jdjax had it correct.
