Definitely not a musket buttplate. I've seen something like that recently but it's going to take a while for me to remember what it was. I thinking maybe a foot for something?

Is it cast iron?
Looks too big and heavy to be a musket butt plate.
other wise no idea.

Part of an anchor?

Maybe the foot off an old school desk.

I have seen that somewhere as well. Maybe the bottom of a jack. My Dad had an old cast iron shoe repair stand that might have had a bottom like that.

Now I'll have to go dig in my junk pile. I hunt the remains of an old schoolhouse across the pasture from me on a regular basis. Maybe that is where I saw that object.

Shoe repair stand would get my vote.

That's the first thing that came to my mind before I saw any of the responses. I used to walk by a cobbler shop every day on my way to school and it has that look about it.

Clean it up a bit might reveal a clue.

Here are two small (one is a baby for size) that I found at my ghost town....looks like it could be a shoe last

My Dad still repairs his own shoes with one of those things in his garage. I wish I could get a pic of the base.

I believe it is part of a shoe stand repair. The post is missing.

i think you guys are right, part of it seems to be broken off. i found this spring, and a old stove in the cabin foundation.
