Metal shoe insert? Broken trowel? No idea

My best guess would be a broken trowel blade, as I'm sure there was never such a thing as a metal shoe insert.

It is too rounded near the break to be from a trowel, but my guess is that it is a broken propeller from a small boat motor.

Sorry, you'd be wrong. Dr Scholl produced a metal 'foot eazer', his first product in 1904.
