Any idea what this is?

Found in an old barn.

I could be totally wrong, but it looks sort of like a hitch to attach an accessory to a tractor. I bet the part with the sort of coil looking ting in the center allows it to pivot... Not really sure though...

Man, No one? I really want to know what this is!

This may just be one of the unexplained mysteries of the universe.

Well it clamps to a pole or rail and then locks something into the other end. I'm gonna guess antique fishing rod holder.

Looks like a chain link fence installer to me. The clamp on the left tightens to allow the steel straps to be installed, then it can be removed and used elsewhere.

The part on the left reminded me of something that attached on my tractor for some reason. LOL. Not sure quite why. I tried to do a google image search to figure out what it was but I didn't find any similar objects.
