✅ SOLVED What In The World??

Buckleboy and I both dug one of these in a sugarcane field where there was an old plantation but also a 1920s or so "modern" house later. The two hex nuts are lead, the threaded stud is brass. About 1 1/8" long. Modern cent in there for reference. Any ideas? thanks! Shane

Could have been used for many things... Looks to be 1910-1930ish..

Examples? Sort of like a pack stud perhaps?
Thanks B)

I've never seen anything like that in my life. The only think I can think of that a lead hex nut could be used for would be as some type of anchor bolt possibly in concrete or either in a hollow wall (like a molly bolt.) Interesting Breezie

Battery cable conector would be my guess.

Battery cable conector would be my guess.

Mine too. I've seen lead nuts used on old batteries before.

I agree, definitely an electrical connector of some type, probably to a battery.

Battery connectors, I will post some shortly, I have a few of 'em.

They were used with batteries that powered the radios in the 20s 30s before many people had electrical power.
