Need some ID help... dug this in Culpeper VA at a CW camp. It's the second identical one I've found. Any ideas?? rusted hook.webp
 
Can we see some other views of it please? Thanks

creskol is right. We need additional views to make any determination.

My first guess is "single tree hook".

When I first saw it I immediately thought it looked like a snatch block with the wooden pieces and pully missing. Possibly an older version of a snatchblock?

I don't think it's anything military issued, and I don't think it was involved in the war.

My first-impression when viewing the photo was that the iron object is a singletree-hook with half of its "sleeve" portion broken off -- and like Creskol I was waiting for the requested additional photos for certainty in identifying it. But no additional photos ever got posted. Oh well... my point is, I agree with DCMatt.

I agree with DC Matt, creskol and cannonballguy, more photos at different angles please.
