Old Metal Things. Any Ideas?

[comanche 3,298]

I've been given these odd looking items .

I've posted them in the Trapping section simply because they came in a sack of old traps.

My own leanings are towards some sort of pig-collar or other livestock restraint but I'm in the breeze really.

There is a row of short spikes behind the T-shaped spring .

Any ideas or does anyone actually know?

Sack of old traps???? Let me see ...

 

As for these, I have no idea, they are not trap related I don't think. The could be some form of collar, or possibly a farm veterinary device perhaps?

There was something similar to that on a farm I spent time on, and they were bucket hangers,you sat a bucket in them to feed or water with, I am not sure if that's what they were made for, or just a make do job,

I confess I hoped OTC's interest might be peeked,if only to confirm that they are not traps. Bucket holders are a possibility but they are a bit over engineered in my mind for that. Thanks for the input everyone and if I do find out anything I'll keep you posted.

The traps were nothing special-an old Fenn,usual mole clamps and a rat cage but I don't turn anything down if its free

Those chains dont look up to holding much in the way of livestock mate .Id be looking towards a holder of some kind with the lock being to stop whatever it holds from being spilled.

With the bar runnig off it I wonder if they are braces for something,
