Found this last night down by the old cow lot. I can’t remember what they were used for. But they slipped into something and performed like a hook. I thought they were used on old wagon. 30-30 ctg for scale.

It was driven into a log and hooked to a rope so horses could pull it.

I believe that is one type of a harrow tooth, but I could be wrong. There are a few out at the place.

Well that’s possible too, considering where I found it. This hasn’t been hammered on

Old horse logging "hooks" are not hooks.. "L" shaped with an eye on the long leg, and a sharpened short leg. With lots of hammer tracks at the juncture of the "L" legs.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

My first thought was maybe a homemade latch pin like used to secure a door, gate, wagon tailgate, etc.

The inside profile of that hook would cut through a rope, unless said rope was attached by means of a metal ring.

Im leaning toward a harrow tooth. The only place this had been hammered on or a bit flattened is on the short end of the hook.

Drilling a pilot hole in a log would require less pounding to seat the long end and it would require a chain or a ring and rope for dragging.

There's no flat spot for hammering. That would bugger the sharp edge in a hurry. I've seen lots of old harrow teeth but I don't remember any with a hook. Usually they look like a spike. I did find this photo of a meat hook, supposedly made to pound in a ceiling to hang meat. I don't know how it could hold much, though, without any mean of fastening it. I would question whether that's correct.

I swear I've seen them on a harrow like was said above. It had a long handle that changed the angle of the teeth.

It’s a spike harrow tooth. I found the exact one by searching “spike harrow, j spike”.
“Yesterdays tractors.com” on their forum thread “spike drag spikes”.

My guess is harrow tooth as well. Long end is worn or ground into a sort of knife edge. Just my BWAG

Look at the top left corner of this harrow. That looks like one being used to control depth. [ Linked Image] If it doesn't show up, try this link: http://photos.yesterdaystractors.com/gallery/uptest/a239370.jpg

Ok, I'll go with the harrow tooth. The photo I posted of a supposed meat hook was wrong.
