    Probably had to do with holding livestock for milking. the cross pieces would be pushed through a link or ring and when crossways, wouldn't come out until it was pushed through and rotated back straight.

    Chains with toggles were used for many things.

    Was it found in an area where logging was done in the past?

    I was incorrect; got to thinking about it, and it could very well be
    a chain used in logging.

    Couple of examples I found on the interweb:

    I don't know if chokers were always made of cable, so
    maybe it was used as a chain choker?

    They were used in harnessing a mule or draft horse. Those ends "button" into slits in the leather parts of a harness.
