Looks kind of like a hub off a disc plow. I'll look for a picture. Actually it's called a bumper washer off a disc harrow. First photo is a disc harrow, second is the washer.

What's a disc plow?

 

[Tony in SC]

They're washers that are used when bolting wooden beams together. Tony

That explains the railroad tracks or close proximity of. So in essence junk?

sCRAP iron for your recycle pile.

Would a pile of scrap iron be worth anything?

 

[Back-of-the-boat]

Not much but still something not sure on the price. I live in an apartment so no room to save it.

I agree that they are used for bolting wood.
