Cast iron, made by the same foundries which produced cannon balls and grape shot. Small, about 1 ¼” across the points and intended to be used on hard surfaces such as cobble stone roads.

A few related and two identical examples, said to be found in an antique shop in Virginia, with information that they were found in 1865, are shown on the internet. We have a few each with some rust. Each.
