I found this object at about 7 inches in the ground it is very rusty and looks to be a driver for some kind of toy. Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

Does it Look Like It May Have Been Connected Like This One ?

I thought Mine Was MABY connected to A TOY TRACTOR. Or a Hood Orniment.

Mine Looks Like it's Wearing a HARD HAT or HELMET

I would say the driver from a cast iron carriage or circus wagon

 

[Rockfshr]

maybe a coal tender figure from a toy train

Maybe off an old Budwiser Clysdale horse and wagon set.
Had one when I was a kid. Cast Iron driver, wagon, and horses.
It looks kinda like the driver, that I remember.

Here's one I dug up in a 1910 dump,its cast iron and was so rusty that I almost didn't recognise it as a figure.I sand blasted it and repainted it.I found a picture of a cast iron carriage that had a driver just like mine and I copied the color to paint mine.
