This was found where, I believe, a log cabin was built in the Midwest about 1810. The picture shows a pair of side views in the middle and the corresponding ends on the left and right. It has fine threads indicating it screwed into something. The ½ moon holes on either side do not appear to go straight through or connect to the ends. I tried to clear out the small hole on the right end, but did not succeed in breaking through. There are no markings of any kind.
Artifacts dating from the late-1700s to mid-1800s found nearby include a 2 Reale, 5 Large Cents, a Flat Button, Rose Head Nails, Pottery Sherds, etc. In about 1835 a larger frame home was built on the same property about 600 feet away, after which time the cabin may have been used for another purpose.
Thoughts on ID and age appreciated.
