Horse harness buckle. They were founded in 1852 and made wagons before cars. NICE find.

Interesting. Some old guy, maybe even my great uncle told me the Studebaker wagons had a reputation of being the best. He said all the holes bored into the wood components were never drilled with a wood auger bit, but instead all the bore holes were burned through making the area of the bore stronger. A great American story Studebaker is. Last one rolled off the line when I was 10 years old in March of 1966. Kinda looks like a Ford Falcon. I myself have always thought the Studebaker Super Golden Hawk was a real American work of art.
Me to. That car was ahead of it's time in style and I bought the plastic model kit of that car to put together. I think someone is providing a replica of those today.Not to hijack this thread, but I always coveted a Studebaker Avanti! 1963-64 Studebaker Avanti History by Dan Jedlicka
I think your piece is the ring showing under the horse's neck.

Your piece is actually called a trace carrier, and would be positioned on a harness as shown by the red arrow in the schematic below:
Very cool find then. Crazy that this part is embossed and not actually a part of the carriage that they made. I’d have to say the Avanti was one cool car too. But heck. All of the Studebakers look cool to me. Cars nowadays lack the flair that the old cars had. Jgas
