What's this hunk of metal?

Found this near a 19th century homestead site. Maybe an old tractor part? The B shaped bracket appears to have been affixed to something else at some point. On the back there are letters, possibly BBCS?

A hinge.

Yeppers, Taz is right; it's a hinge, and it could fit an old fashioned school desk or the likes. Neat find, Breezie
