I inherited a Ford NAA. Upon cleaning out the toolbox I found a tool that I did not recognize. Any ideas?

Looks a bit strange.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Somewhere there is some unbridled horsepower.

Horses for courses.
I could take the bit between my teeth and take a guess I suppose

probably a relic from the 'tractor' it replaced , a nice sentiment if it was .

That is a cool looking bit,..first time i seen one like that.

This farm dates back to 1890 in Arlington,WA. They were using Clydsdale horses before the tractor age. Thanks all of you for your help. Very witty replies!

Rick, As I recall my late Grandfather called that type of bit a JIC bit. They were used on horses whose mouths had "toughened up" and wouldn't respond to a normal bit.
