[Richard Metzger]

Hi,
I asked the elders.No one knows or remember !!! what it is.The 95 years old gentelman just disregarded the question,meaning something like ah that's what you are playing with you kids.I am 65.

Those are chain chokes for a steel deck with slotted fittings to chain stuff in place, Used to work with em every day when I was a tow operator on a 199 Ton rotator and a 65 tone under reach tow truck for semis and large trucks. Ahhh yesss, those were the good ole days back then...

I was going say I used something like them as hold-downs mounted to chains for a car carrier.
