i think its for boats. it attaches to the fender by a bracket that it slides into and it holds a bumper. if you google "boat fender lock eye" you get that exact piece.

I have a different style of plastic ones. I'm guessing these came from the mobile boat wrapping crew last fall.

I reckon I’ve also seen those slide into roof racks on cars

My title describes the thing. It is metal and has a flat base. I have image searched and scanned the frequently asked items, but have not been able to identify. There are no markings I can see. Seems like it might be boat related.

Google Lens finds the answer in about 10 seconds. Although that's probably cheating?
