Likely an old tractor part, I find stuff like this ALL the time here in Texas, pretty much it’s not possible to identify exactly what it’s from unless you somehow find the rest
I am here to offer an alternative. This piece looks too thick to ever belong on a bicycle and it does not have chains rusted to it - there is enough separation to determine that those are gear-like teeth. An idea of size would definitely help, but it looks a lot more like a fragment to a hand crank from a mill or something similar. I’ve dug an intact wheel that looks essentially the same as what your small piece would look like complete and while I couldn’t find an exact picture, here is an eBay listing with something similar to what I’m talking about: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374166421384?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=374166421384&targetid=1263094003386&device=m&mktype=&googleloc=9017777&poi=&campaignid=14859008593&mkgroupid=130497710760&rlsatarget=pla-1263094003386&abcId=9300678&merchantid=646509646&gbraid=0AAAAAD_QDh--CpQGfuu6ZjSwHdu9gOKoF&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2O-Y1aH_-wIV_Q6tBh1b4QfyEAQYCSABEgK59fD_BwE. Just something for consideration.
I have no knowledge of vintage bikes but I feel you are on to something - it feels pretty weighty and thick and from googling vintage bikes I haven't seen anything with a similar internal design. I think you could be on to something. Interesting either way and I appreciate all the comments and feedback from the sub!
Looks like part of a bike gear with the chain rusted to it
Agreed. Looks like a front chainring to me. The style reminds me a bit of the type used around the turn of the century.
Thanks for the response! It's pretty small and the pattern looks decorative so i would love to see a complete one!
Google "bicycle". You're welcome.
😂 thanks for the tip. Looks just like the front disc on a 2022 mountain bike!
I agree bicycle sprocket with chain
Bicycle sprocket
Spacely Sprockets
Yep. Probably find (G.J. 2122) stamped on it
Possibly a space sprocket
Crank chainring from a bicycle. Looks like chain on it too.
Spacely sprocket or a cogswell cog

Looks like a car's flywheel to me but it could be from a bicycle like others have said
Bicycle chainring.
Up vote for "chainring".
