could it be a butt plate? from a rifle

Butt plate was my first inclination, but it should have had a couple of screws instead of a spike. So? Monty

Wouldn't like that spike in my Butt

could be something that was attached to leather, perhaps Horse related

Some early butt plates were nailed on, but this isn't one of them.

Possibly a bit o' iron from a old farm wagon?

Most nails start out straight. When they got bent can be hard to tell.

Or maybe a primitive shoe cobblers tool.
