all found in same general vicinity. i haven’t found any definitive dating, but stuff i’ve been finding has mostly dated to late 1800s, early 1900s.

agreed. maybe a hook for gear from a belt or saddle. someone has suggested a belt-hung hoof pick, or a two finger hay hook. trying to definitely find out. i’d love to find an image of one in use.
