    This item has been hanging around in my shed for years but I have no idea what it might be for. 3 inches long.

      That is a two prong wool bale hook. You probably won't ever see another. This liiks homemade almost.

      Here is a little fancier model: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/249150066/vintage-double-two-prong-wool-bale-hook

      Thanks for commenting Brunswick, the white spot you can see is actually a paint splash. I see what you're getting at fhrjr2 but this item is made from quite a light gauge wire and I don't think it would lift much, also the ends are straight rather than hooked.
