I'm pretty sure the brass item is a reign guide for a wagon. It also might be an oar guide for a boat.

Better late than never, thank you for sharing your thoughts, I always respond to everyone who replies to my post and some how this one got lost in the dust!
That is a cooler find than I thought if it is either of those two things!
