The site was a small home that had recently been razed. The house appeared to be from the 60's maybe 50's. I found many clad pennies and one wheat - 1940.
This was in a section of very dark rich soil, a garden area I am guessing. It was bent in an L shape, like it had been struck with a shovel at one time.
It is solid brass and both ends appear to be threaded, although I have been able to unscrew just one ball. I marked it up doing that so the other will remain unknown.
After rubbing my chin on this one for awhile the only thing I can think of is collar bar, but if it was I would expect the threaded end to be pointed or rounded. It is square, more like an industrial application.
As seen in the pics, slightly under 2.5", no identifying marks of any kind. I don't usually see brass eaten away like it is on the bar part, making me think it has been down there a long time.
What is it and how old do you think it is?

By the way, up to 3 inch, 16 & 18 gauge studs were listed for both male and female. I'll leave it your own imagination as to what or where they were using these monstrosities.
