Unknown part

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Thanks Wayne if it's something someone needs it's free plus shipping. It looks like brand new old stock I'm pretty sure it's from the early 1900s cause the other stuff it came with is.

With those pivot points on the side and that shaft with that unique head it was in some type of machinery.
