looks broken on the right hand side, so its hard for me to think which was the 'useable' end.

Looks like it might have been a guide for a garden hose?

 

[duffytrash]

its complete...the damage on the right hand side is mushrooming from hammering the object....

 

[duffytrash]

does anbody think it could be a mining candlestick..sticking tommy?

 

[herb n surf]

Vampire killer?? or maybe a gate ornament..

 

[RELICDUDE07]

I think its a tent spike -the loops are made for rope to slide in....May be hammer into a tree type

Is it iron or brass? Whatever it is, it is very ornate.

something to to yer horse to?

 

[Paleopilot]

Maybe a cool letter opener?

It looks like the plastic card holders used for flowers. Snce it is metal it could have been one from a funeral home.

it crossed my mind, but it would need to be a goat & even then it would not hold well.

Do you have a picture of the back side?

 

[smokeythecat]

I used to use something similar to mark off a line to measure outside. You'd loop the twine, wire, etc. from one loop to the other, but yours looks a mite fancy. Unless it belonged to the King.

I like this idea, but it looks older than the age of garden hoses -- Victorian or Edwardian in style. It could be meant to look aged, of course, and not be. I think if it was a tether anchor of any sort, it would have a longer and less easily removed blade. Also... no reason for 2 loops unless for 2 animals (which makes the short and insubstantial blade even more problematic). I'm guessing that whatever it is, this was more an ornamental than practical tool.

It looks like a late Victorian garden row marker. The loops would/could hold the paper seed packets to denote what was planted. I can't find one exactly like it, but here's a similar one.

Really neat find Breezie

another suggestion was a sythe sharpener..stick it in the ground...sharpen the long blade....the other side looks like this side...

 

[mfitzs70]

Those loops are just asikin for ropes or twine to be attached. Could it be marine or a rope attachment for a flag pole...
