Found this today. I know I have seen this on here before? Carriage piece? No idea what the U piece is? Seems hand forged though.

Yes, a finial like that was up just the other day. I forgot what the concensus was, maybe a finial to a hame. The forged staple is straight forward, and ones like this were used for barn latches, and sometimes used for harness trees among many other uses.
