Unknown brass relics, estimated WW1 era.

[RockyR]

I found these 4" long heavy brass items while metal detecting in areas of SE Arizona where other finds dated from around 1910-1930. There are no clues as to the manufacturer stamped on them. I don't know if they are some type of rope tensioners, flagpole brackets, or firearm/reloading accessories. I would appreciate anyone's comments who may be familiar with them.

They are tent rope tighteners.

They actually go back to the Span/Am period. I have some with patient dates in the 1880's. They may have been used in WWI but I am not sure.

Yep. I've found quite a few of those in the woods around old Scout camps from the 1920's.
