It is just a square and flat. I will get a better picture when I get back to the shop. I don't know why it got cropped like that.

Looks like one end of a pipe clamp.

HogWildz nailed it; it is the metal parts of a wooden bar clamp, essentially supplied as is for the wood worker to furnish his/her own "bar" or stock of wood. I have several in my collection, the fore-runner of the modern pipe clamp, the bar can be any length required for glue up jobs.

 

[bholler]

it could also be part of a press clamp where you make a frame to hold that and then use it to press down usually for veneering but i could be wrong for sure

I thought it was a clamp from a drill press "vise"but prop too long

 

[NateB]

I will get some more pictures today

That looks like part of a tail vise, maybe missing a couple of pieces.
