I acquired a pair of these on eBay from Deb Sardone in 2018.
Each of these is 91 mm. tall, 68 mm. wide, 9 mm. thick, and weighs 72 g. The devices are not flat, but bowed. Without the bow, they are only 8 mm. thick. They are made from eitherr cast iron or forged steel. The two are closely matched, indicating that they are probably not hand forged, at least not without a die of some sort.
There are no markings on this device.
The seller provided the following description:
"These items are from an antique auction in Kutztown Pennsylvania. I am unsure what they are exactly. They are a nice heavy weight - 2.5 oz each. They could be used as a nice decorative piece for a climbing enthusiast."
I don't know exactly what these are, but I'm certain that they should not be used for rappelling. My guess is that they are some piece of harness hardware. Kutztown is Amish country, adding some plausibility to what is otherwise nothing more than a guess.
For far more content, use a larger monitor and a full-width window.
Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
