One of these has been on here before so hopefully someone remembers what it was Identified as.

At first it did remind me of a stabilizing bracket for a surveying tripod, but not sure.

Yes... Clonloum123 posted it in August, and again in October, but didn't get much in the way of suggestions about what it might be. Nothing much I can offer either.

not part of a tripod imo.
part of a light fixture?

Copper or brass? An equilateral triangle is a useful tool in drafting, surveying and masonry construction. The corners make me think it could be part of a light fixture or lantern as well. Interesting find!

I'm not sure if it's my slow internet as I can't enlarge the photos.
I'm see a triangle, but you got me on the measurements 17" x 3"
Then again I probably failed that course in school

Maybe a little history on the area where it was found would help

very much so, but op said made of copper (brass?)...too soft for Rohm tower guy bracket! And too big ?

the pics won't enlarge but it appears cast so I doubt it's copper. brass or plated is my guess
