Where did you find it? It would help to know the context of the site.

Are there any holes in it, particularly on the ends??. I thinking it may be a corner reinforcement that is found on some trunks. If holes are present, they could be for rivets, nails, etc. to hold it to the trunk. Hope it helps.

no holes ,no rivits, and someone said mabey its a corner protector for a chest of some sort,but that cant be right either it does not have any flat sides to mount against anything.

I don't think it's a caltrop like gr suggested.

I'd never even heard of a caltrop before so I looked up some pictures.

Tip of the hat to gr for expanding my knowledge of weird objects!

Yours doesn't look like something that could hurt a horse or pierce a tire.

Does it have a flat side or is it pointy on both sides?

Is it solid brass or is it plated?

What is that weird white gunk on it? If it's brass I would expect patina, not white gunk.

Does it look hand forged or like it came out of a mold?

I don't have a clue what the object in question is....... and I am a bonafide..... Class A Relic Hurter. There is no telling how many relics I have hurt over the years. The last one that I hurt was a Sword Sling Hook...... put a skint mark right down the side of the hook.... missed the D-ring. LOL

It's an interesting piece, all right. Someone here will come up with it.... if not already..... I guess I need to finish reading the thread.

Take care,

Kim

Don't know what that is...I say toss it into the air and call it a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object).

Sorry about this useless post, it's just for grins.
