What is it ?

Local old time hardware store has about 8 of these. They are about 6 inches long, cast

From my memory they are found on the wooden handles of a hand pushed garden cultivator. Single wheel in front with tines following. This allowed the angle of the tines/handle to be adjusted for the size of the human. Jim
 
Makes sense. If anyone is looking for some, I can point them in the right direction.

I guess if I look closely at the supply, there may be left's and right's ?
 
My guess is they are adjustable hitches for a horse-drawn plow. The two widely-spaced holes attach it to the plow beam. The operator then connects the harness whichever hole in the close-spaced arc that causes the plow to draw straight.
 
These are used on the front of a horse drawn plow or cultivator and are for hooking the whiffle tree to,then the harness hooks to that. The extra holes are for adjustment.
 
I've got a "walking plow" holding my mailbox.There are 2 of those brakets on the front.....complete with the clevis.
 
[quote="couv; They are bicycle built-for-two seats for those riders who had two much chili for supper; thus the vent holes!
 
These cast pieces fit on the front of the plow beam with pin holes horizontal and serve as a provision of adjusting the depth the plow will run. Moving the hitch point up increases the depth and down reduces the depth for a mule or horse drawn plow. They were most common on breaking plows, but also on Georgia Stocks and scratcher plows.
 
You now know its purpose--adjustment for hitching the pulling power (horse(s), mule(s), or oxen. If you want to know what it is called, that is a Rooster Comb.
