This is a homemade part from a hay wagon (1st picture). FIL used pieces of this to make lots of brackets around the place. I never knew what they were from then I found a few hoops of it hanging on a wall. I'm thinking they're iron "tires" from wood wagon wheels. Anybody know for sure?

looks way to thick for bands on wood wheels

Wild thought but back in the day didn't they use strapping on top wood for the original railroad ties. I'm thinking there was some farm application like that

Used lots if that myself making stuff on the farm. Wish I had more old wagon rims around now.
That is some tough steel.

I believe that it is, indeed, wagon tire steel.
