[solved]Cast iron mystery

Anybody recognize this cast iron piece? From a late 1800's site.

Thanks in advance!

Cast clothes iron handle ?

But more likely a "tensioning" or "adjustment" limb ?

But favors these types of saws ...

I agree and could be a clevis for anything from a Jack to a spring tensioner. We will never know

Cheers

Thanks guys! Pretty sure it's a pre-1900 site. Trying to use anything to narrow the date range.
