Looks like a suspender strap / latch / buckle - I like finding these, they normally have a patent date on them.

Being that wide, those "buckles" are farm-equipment horsegear... specifically, they are late-1800s/early-1900s plow harness buckles. The photo below shows one variety of that type, from an early-1900s catalog (originally posted here in the What-Is-It forum by Creskol).

Thanks CG, I find them all over the house sites I hunt. I thought they may have been off a horse or mule. Thanks for the help.
