Does anyone know what this could be (solid brass)

[Sprintcar2]

I found this brass relic around a early 1900's homestead. I know there use to be a sawmill near by. It has some orange paint on it but not real sure why it would have been painted since it is brass. Any input is appreciated.

Hmmm, it's got holes with the countersinking on the inside, like there were screws that went from the inside out.

Actually looks like a spur with the strap and rowel missing.

Looks a hinge to tilt a chute, for sawdust maybe?

Yes I was assuming they were rivot holes. Has no markings other than the 332

I doubt it's a spur given the tape measure it looks like it's about 8" wide. Though it does have that look doesn't it

Ya that's what I thought as well but it's to big and way to heavy. Also thought maybe part of a jaw trap but again to heavy and blunt.
