I think your mystery item is a terret.

The other item, with two holes, is a piece from an early 1800s saddle.

Hey George, now that you know what it is, maybe you can go find the other piece

Twas a really neat piece none the less... Interesting and painted many mental pics of possibilities.

I just decided that it had to be some form of hook... just a new type to me.

Ps> The cool by-product of research / puzzle solving... is a strange mystical phenomenon called... learning more knowledge.
