Only 8 inches long. Tent peg? From what era?
Does the hook end look like it had been beaten on from being driven into something hard?
Could be a hold down for a workbench.
The thought is a good one, but the problem is that the end that is hammered flat would make the hole for the bench dog bigger than the rounded part of the shaft and the hole and shaft of a bench dog being tight is what makes the dog work properly, so the flattened end being bigger than shaft means it wouldn't stay tight in the bench dog's hole in workbench.
