For some reason I'm thinking horse related. Can anybody ID this piece?

Reminds me of the hooks found on hanging scales. Or utility farm chain with hook.

At an old house site no date on the house. Most finds are from late 1800s-1940s.

I don't think it is a hook, but rather a staple.

Maybe used for hanging deer after killing? Be interesting if you find another.
