It looks like a buckle cover, but I have not seen one made of iron. Which doesn't mean they didn't make them that way.

I should have mentioned that it dates from the 1840s-1850s. It has me stumped...

Not sure of the proper name but its a strap tensioner, the type they would use when securing a load on an open back vehicle.

Ratchet strap, they come in a variety off sizes, that's what I thought also.
