It looks like a link hook, as BA said. Used for hanging a chain from a bolt or large nail. The small end keeps it from slipping off and it can be removed quickly when you need to remove it. As to the age, well, the location says it may be 150 years old or more.
A nice relic for certain.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
