Are they made of wrought iron or aluminum?

iron, about 16 inches long, uses 3 bolts to secure it to whatever it is supposed to mount to.

They are actually "Wagon Stakes" that were mounted upright to the bolsters of a wooden wagon to secure the load. Bagwell Manufacturing was a wagon maker located in Gainesville, GA.

Here's a pair from a different maker.
