ANOTHER STRANGE FIND

Anyone have any idea what this is for?

The football shaped thing is solid iron.
It's 6.5" point to point, 3.5 inches at the widest point and 1.25" high.

Flat like that on both sides? Kind of looks like an old iron really.

It looks concave is it? If so it maybe a form for pounding out spoons or something when black smithing.

Could the oval portion be a jig to spread things like horseshoes?
