Looks like a wooden stirrup.

hubby said that too-but it would have to be for a kid? Not that old?

Looks like a stirrup for a playground swing set.
Duplicate posts are resolved! No worries! :)

thanks kc
yet I looked up stirrups and they look a lot alike--
were people just so tiny or a kid do you think? Maybe a lady? Not much wear at all but the mark is hard to read so it looked used
-
Nope !! Not one that would be used on a saddle !! This is a home made one !! The cross bar is too big around and should be a metal rod much smaller than that !! Didn`t take mine apart to measure but its less than 1/2 inch !! Now,, remember the horse swings that are made from old tires and suspended from a tree branch !! Could be that this stirrup was made for something similar !! I have seen those where strips of inner tube were used to attach a stirrup !! The big crossbar would be good for that !!
-
that would make sense mart as there is more wear and tear on the top piece-nothing on the piece where feet would have hit it time and again
-
oops--looks like kc had the idea first==thank you kc
-
A search on Google Images revealed many wooden stirrups with a heavy wood dowel like that but they were quite a bit roomier for the foot. I think it may have come off a ride or carousel.
-
This would have been for children/kids.
Could have also been a piece on a rocking horse!
-
Could be like you and Frogpatch said !! Just noticed it is flat on one side like it may have been attached to something solid !!
