Found next to an old 1850's road, at first I thought gun part or furniture part. It is brass under the patina. Any thoughts welcome, thanks.

Looks like a handle to a gate my uneducated guess

Looks like it could be a trigger guard for a rifle or shotgun.

Way too small to be a triggerguard, could be part of a latch of some sort.

It's pretty small, so I'm thinking based on the position of the screw holes that it's part of a cabinet latch.:icon_scratch:

Agreed, way too small for a trigger gaurd, I’d say furniture related

What you actually have is a portion of a strap block off of an old wooden horse hame.
