Unknown Metal Plate

[AU24K]

Found this camping over the weekend. The hole at the top left, bottom left and bottom right are threaded. The other two smaller holes and the big middle hole are not threaded. A magnet will stick to it. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Looks like the plate that would go under the leaf springs on a vehicle that would accept bolts to attach the axle assembly to the leaf springs. The offset hole would accept the shock absorber.

That was my first thought but I didnt say. I was thinking of a trailer.

Geez, I didn't even pay attention to the penny size reference... ..I was just looking at the shape of the object. Oh well. I think your piece's application will be similar to the leaf spring plate, only on a smaller scale.....much smaller.

It might be an old "screwplate" used formaking threads on round metal rods. Hows that for a WAG. Bob

You mean like a threading die? I never saw one like that. A pic or link would be nice.

I'm guessing it was a template for something? Monty
