only a guess but it sure looks like a reign guide from a wagon.i found numerous ones with the threaded rod and the loop but yours has that swingable plate which may be some sort of lock or brake on the rope or reign.I'd bet money on it that's what this is.

Relic Hunting
Re: Anyone know what this is?
That's a beautiful relic Chris, wish I had found it!
Sounds like Dave (HMN) might have already given you your answer!

I love hunting old relic sites . . . as I feel
the imprint of past lives often linger there.
I view relic sites as windows to the past, sacred places
in a way, yet at the same time attesting to the reality
that the past is still very much a part of our today!

Agreed, I think it's called a swinging toggle.

A real man thinks about detecting every 6 seconds
A couple years ago I found something similar and "Relic Lover" came up with this advertisement that called
these things "Fly or Head Turretts". . . (Chris, the last item in the second row looks like the one you found).
