the look like some very sturdy table cloth clips

and of course pig castrators

Got me, never saw them before.

Awesome

No holes in the tabs ?
Looks like they would slide over the sideboards on a truck bed to create strong attachment loops.
If so, maybe these are new and were never drilled ?
I's like to have a few !
Cool !

check out making chuck or covered wagons watched a utube vid once and thinkin i seen something like that for tying down the canvas

Size?
If they had holes I would of said roof jack

They have holes.
I thought they might be a tie down loop...but wow heavy duty

9 1/4" long
1.5" gap

Drive into the mud for steps down to the creek

I'm in the same thinking as crowfoot. Looks like something would mount on edge for tie point could even swing a gater or door on them with pins.

given the holes and the very round nature of the eye I am leaning more towards a gate hinge

the design with the long side indicates they need to not rotate so that eye stays true and will fit over a pin for a gate hinge

basically the old fashion version of this but so that they sandwich the wood , possibly even held in place by a rivet rather than a bolt

They have the look of that

Single tree/double tree ends. Note the wear in the rounded corner; where the hooks fit, that connected to the tugs.

My Granddad had a collection of old yokes and trees of my great grandads. Grandpa said that the ropes could be adjusted from a caries of knots. He said he learned to not like horses much because they absorbed his youth. Great gramps was a horse team trader and trainer and grandpa was a master with horses even though his love was farming and raising cattle.

Charles nailed it . You be a real teamster
