Hi all

We have recovered a rusted (naturally!) piece of iron from Seneca  
Village (ca 1825-1855). It has tiny serrations along one side and  
looks almost like a barette in shape, only heavier; 2 long parallel  
edges (1/2 to 3/4" in width)  with heavier knob-like attachments at  
each end.

Any thoughts as to what it could be?

thanks a lot
