another whatzit from the woods

This I found very close to an old horseshoe in the woods in an old homestead area. the 2 smaller holes are threaded and I've had it in an electrolysis bucket for a few days. any ideas you wonderful treasurenetters??

Looks kinda like an old bumper guard. Here are a couple with the same rear profile, although the front isn't quite a match .. Gives an idea at any rate..

Do you think it could be a fender from an old tricycle ?-----

It is pretty heavy so i'd be more inclined to say the car bumper thing than the kids bike( although that was my first thought when i yanked it out of the ground). I was also thinking some piece of farm equipment as the old photos of the area at penn.pilot.psu.edu show plowed fields all around an old house that is no longer there
