Any help ID'ing this? So this must have a pretty specific purpose, and as a picker/treasure hunter I couldn't pass it up for $2. I am pretty sure it is valuable to the right person. It is marked "316", which I assume is the type of stainless steel it is made from.Another mark in the casting says "T10J48".
$5 bill for size reference.
Not sure what it was made for, but it'd be a great mud anchor for a fishing boat.
So fancy in fact, I'd be afraid to use it instead of a cinder block
just in case I snagged and lost it.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Boat anchor that belonged to either Jesus or John (3:16).
It’s a boat anchor specifically for mud or sand

It's an early production Hi-Point, otherwise known as a boat anchor!
I'm curious why it wasn't cast as a single piece. The crossbar is a separate piece that is either pinned or set screwed in place. Seems like unnecessary cost from a production perspective.
Whatever you want it to be jk

Why machine that rim for a boat anchor? Why make it from stainless and with two arms and a cross bar? I’m probably wrong, but I think it wasn’t made to be a boat anchor.

That is NOT an anchor. It could be used as one but not what it was originally made as.
Salpal may be right, kind of similar use as a two block on a crane.
Between 1900 and 1950 hand operator elevators were in use. and had a human operator. sensors were on The cables. as the elevator rose or lowered . the sensor would hit the round shape dome and send a signal to the operator with a red Light to tell him he was approaching the next floor . a very simple system

Looks like zirk fittings were once on the cross-bar, I see holes there.
I think it's a shimdiddiwe.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.
