953 nut 51,737 #7 Posted December 22, 2017 To me it looks like an attachment device to connect a harness to the singletree of a horse drawn wagon. I did a Google Search for a visually similar item and they thought it was a serpent (snake)! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 10,746 #16 Posted December 22, 2017 Looks somewhat like a tow chain that you would use on a car. You'd put that one end in a hole in the frame. To lock it in place 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JPWH 5,308 #21 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) I have seen longer ones used for gate latch. That could be used as a wheel stop for a spoked wheel. Edited December 23, 2017 by JPWH Spoked wheel not spiked 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 35,811 #24 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Sorry to keep you guys guessing without any new clues, but I promised to take Mrs. K out for dinner. I just got back ready to give you a couple clues, but I think we already have a winner. The wagon chain brake was used to provide wheel traction when descending a hill with a heavily loaded horse drawn wagon. One or both rear wheels were locked with a chain and this chain was wrapped around the rim at the bottom to provide the traction. Thanks to everyone for your entries , but Jay Paxton @JPWH gets the attaboy. WTG Jay. This particular chain belonged to Mrs.Ks Grandfather Charles Sheffer. He was a farmer that only used mules for pulling. 12 hours ago, JPWH said: That could be used as a wheel stop for a spoked wheel.
