brass hinges? If so, to what?

[thrillathahunt]

These two brass items are numbered 1654 and 1655. They are not identical as you can see in the pictures. One is 3 7/8" long, the other is 4 3/8" long.

I suspect they are hinges, but to what? Any ideas?

I believe they are hinges from an old wooden toilet seat.

Its hard to find a pic.

Big Cy, these things are a bit too heavy for that application I do believe...but anything is possible.

Im not familiar with the old Thomas Crappers but I would imagine they were heavier duty than todays toilet seats. I cant say for sure but the shape sure matches and they are often found at old homesites..

Any other opinions are welcome, of course. I could be wrong.

Hinges for a toilet seat is reasonable and logical.

As a shear guess, they could be hinges to a seat for pull behind farm equipment too.
