What might this buckle have been used for?

[arrowhead82]

I found this buckle at an old homesite. It's about 1 1/2 in by 3 in (The frame) . It has two prongs and seems to have a hook/attachment thingy on the top. Any help is Greatly appreciated!

Looks like a suspender buckle of some sort.

Hey Arrowhead82, You have an example of a late 1800's-early 1900's horse iron tack buckle, probably for a plow or wagon pulling horse. I find similar ones here in SW Missouri all the time on farm sites too. Happy Hunting, Sub
