I have found these in different sizes at early homesites and would like to know what they are. "This piece must be a real stumper" The doll toilet seat reply took allot of imagination but I guess it's a good as any so far LOL. Maybe some one will recognize it!!

NEW HERE, THIS LOOKS LIKE A FASTENER TO SECURE BED RAILS TO THE HEADBOARD AND FOOTBOARD. THE ROUND END IS ATTACHED TO THE RAIL AND THE OTHER END SLIPS INTO THE HEADBOARD.

Brilliant!

This one has recurred several times in the year plus I've poked around here.

Bravo!
