Oh, yeah, I see how it could be that.A lap link from a chain that was stretched and broken.
Items were really affordable back in those days.iron trace DEE- bolt and roller is my guess.
I agree, though were all lap links created the same from day one?note the hole and pin on the relic, unlike a lap link.
I see how it could be one of those parts, and that’s sort of what I thought. The “eye” with the short part going through it seems unnecessarily complicated for a lap link, but about right for harness and trace parts.iron trace DEE- bolt and roller is my guess.
It is an older style link. The one pepper posted is the newer style but does the same thing. A lap link is a connector link.I don't know what a lap link is, but it looks like a broken repair link to me.
I have several of those lap links on display, along with complete repair links the OP posted. I have always called them repair links. I guess they serve the same purpose, repairing broken chains. So now they have a name...lap link.It is an older style link. The one pepper posted is the newer style but does the same thing. A lap link is a connector link.
