✅ SOLVED Some Sort Of Buckle?

[joe_dirt]

I've never found one of these so maybe somebody here can let me know what it is. My guess is some sort of buckle, maybe for a horse or something? Thanks in advance.

It is a version of buckle used mostly (but not only) on horseharness, called a Conway buckle. That type shows up in horsegear catalogs from the late-1800s to the present. Not seen in civil war era catalogs.
