Not big enough

It’s about 3-4 inches tall 3 inches wide

Even if it were the right size, the relationship between (presumed) handle and hook is too small.

I wonder if it was meant to install on a rod, like a closet rod, with the hook being to hang something from?

Hello, The hook would grab the wire on the hay bale. Regards, Lou

The large oval part looks like it is tapered inside like it would slip over a piece of wood of some sort. The only thing that comes to mind is maybe a doubletree or singletree

 Another odd thing is the hook is not perpendicular to the hole. all other hooks would be perpendicular
Like hay or meat hook

  goto google and put in "vintage horse tack hooks"     I just found it again.

  I can see where they could just hang it on a peg or nail to hang the tacks, and move it where ever they put the horse.

  just an idea.
