Wagon Wheel hub band

[myelo1023]

I found this over the weekend at the outskirts of a ghost town. Took me 1 1/2 hours to dig it out from under 4 inch oak roots. Appears to be part of a wagon wheel hub...one of the bands. Let me know what you think. I have picture of a real one for comparison. Looks to be one of the back bands, not the first one.

I would have to call it a back band from the hub assembly. Im no wagon expert though... Cool dig.
