What the . . . ?

[parsonwalker]

Just wondering what kind of farm equipment or what? Obviously hand forged and forged TOGETHER, as no way to separate. Not a chain...some kind of crude hinge? Any ideas? From civil war campsite, but also a working farm for the past 150 years!


.
By the way, each piece is about 2" long . . .

No idea. Just not enough there for me to take a guess. Cool find though!

I think you're right about it being a hinge from a post gate, the spike ends would have been longer, but have rusted off.

could be what is left of "log dragging tongs" ... wild guess

Looks like a much older, hand forged barn door or gate hook like the one below.
