Maybe someone will recognize this?

I found this in a box of very old Christmas decorations. My mother packed up all sorts of stuff w/Christmas, and I just opened a box I hadn't previously gone through. I do not recall ever seeing it, and it's my belief it's very old, but I really don't have a clue. She has been dead for nearly 17 yrs, so can't ask her. It appears to be cast iron.

If I were to step on it in the dark I would identify it as a caltrop.

That's a novelty or toy item made by Simon et Rivollet of France sometime around 1920. Most pieces made for export will be marked "SR France" somewhere if you look closely enough. They were makers of small toys and other novelties in lead, tin alloy and brass (I don't think cast iron, but perhaps what you have is tin alloy or plated brass and looks like iron). They made everything from miniature ships, planes, cars and trains through to model soldiers and dolls house accessories. Popularly known as "penny tin" toys, even if not actually made from tin.

There were many variations produced by Simon et Rivollet. This one ('SR France' marked) is the same version as originally posted (the tip of one of the side bows is broken) but in brass.
