Likely last used by a farmer with an attitude in central Nebraska. Possibly on that stubborn mule that simply would not move fast enough. Discovered while rummaging through a dirty tote of family heirlooms. Currently resides in an undisclosed location until the legal staff at Unidentified Family Objects determines the legality of possessing this item.
Description:
Not brass. Not rusty enough to be cast iron. Likely steel or some hard-metal alloy.
Unique Marks:
None.
History:
Unknown. For more information about brass knuckles in general, check out a book like History of Knuckle Dusters by David Grant.

Huh, punching a stubborn mule. They'd also come in handy in a bar fight, I suspect.
