Found in Independence, Missouri on a farm dating to 1843. Bell shaped item appears to be a yoke of some kind? Clip, have no idea.

I don't know, but I'm getting the idea they may be parts to some type of early industrial type of shop equipment? What ever it is they did want it to be securely attached with so many bolt hole in it. Could be parts off a early automobile
