what is this?

[peterhull]

I am not entirely sure what this item is.

It was given to me.

My guess is that it may be a rigging tang but I am not sure

Anyone know for sure what it is!!

It IS a rigging tang, I believe, intended specifically to attach Dyneena-type running backstays to a corresponding fitting in the mastwall. It is illustrated in Selden's online and printed catalogue here : http://www.seldenmast.com/flipbook/default.cfm?pubID=97226AAE-DCFD-0EDE-3FED987AD9A0261E... although that item may be from a different manufacturer.

If you don't have a use for it, I'll recompense you for it....

not sure what it is worth but make me an offer I cannot refuse. I was going to put it in the for sale section of the forum
