Just found this possible airplane part in my attic (Pacific NW)

BelvidereMike · Mar 8, 2022

Have already found some notable WWII memorabilia which leads me to believe that this piece I just found hidden amongst some insulation is very likely from that Era. So far the memorabilia I've found is from German and US side. Any idea if this is indeed from an airplane and if so, which one? I'll be up there again this weekend for some remodeling and exploring

Hello and welcome aboard. It almost looks like a small plow blade.

Hi there! Well that seems somewhat disappointing on the surface haha but could very well be!

It is a small plow blade, probably from a multi furrow cultivator.

That "body" would be called a "moldboard" and it does look to be an antique.
If it were heavy duty or designed for heavy use, it was have a "share" attached to the bottom - a share is the part that cuts or digs into the soil.
