Trying Again... What is it?

Lets see if this works THIS time...

I found TWO of these on the side of the road. I have asked a dozen people, and nobody knows what they are! They are 8" end-to-end, 1 3/4" wide (out side), and 1 3/8" wide (inside).
Any ideas?
 
That is the connector to attach the rear cultivator gang to the lift arms on an Essex tri-directional.
 
That's what I thought at first, too, but I doubt that it is. The pin is the wrong type, the hooks are too "sharp", it's too narrow, and there is no way to attach a strap....
 
It's going to be hard for me to describe but I think I may know what it is... We have several horse drawn implements that have a set-up on the end of the pole that allows you to attach the neck yolk with a "ramp and pin" system. Basically the hooks on the piece you have pictured hold the ring of the neck yolk against the tongue and the pin rests against a ramp on the pole end not allowing the hooks to let go of the ring. I tried to find a picture with a quick google search but no luck so far. I hope this makes sense its a weird setup to describe.
 
GOOGLE Image Search thinks it's "plywood", or perhaps a violin!

So much for "A. I."/ Machine learning! Looks right past the part and "sees" the woodgrain tabletop!

Can't be for the Essex Tri-DIrectional, it's missing the inverted aluminum grommets that hold the nylon line that keeps the batwing from flying off during left turns.

quite odd to find two of them anywhere close to each other.
Maybe just bought and bounced out of a buggy?
The paint is not worn any where it would be if it was used.
 
Reminds me of some quick tach loader adaptors, but just not quite right and too small for that.

Hum.

Its a "Safety Latch" for the neck yoke ring on horse (animal) drawn equipment. That piece in the picture attaches to the tongue of the implement so the neck yoke ring cannot become unhooked accidentally (and cause human injury or equipment damage).
 
I was thinking the same thing On my JD 420 loader the pallet forks have two different attachments for large and small JD loaders. That would hook to a big loader and allow the use of a smaller bucket.
 
Ok guys, thanks for the replies! Funny thing is, I found it about 200 yards from the Jamesport, MO Auction, and they had a blank auction tag on them (they were wired together). I asked several Amish guys around Jamesport, and NONE of them had a clue!
When I got back home, I asked a couple dozen of our local Amish (Old Order), and THEY had no clue!
They most all have draft horses, but none knew what these were.
