Cleaning up workshop and found a bag of these. About 1" wide threaded ¼-20 lock thread.
Couldn't find them on the web.

Brian, the threaded part is round, so it would rotate in t-track. Plus the holes clearly indicate that it's meany to be screwed to something.
Maybe intended as a mount for something? Similar to this?

For hanging pipe, etc?
It's just a screw on threaded insert. We used these by the thousands for trade show booths, retail displays, and other
work that requires simple setups and breakdowns. Google float nut.
Those are rivet nuts used on aircraft. Two small rivets go in the hole to hold it in place. THey are called nut plates

Lee has it right. We used to call them anchor nuts, or nut plates. Riveted to the back of a panel and held in place with 2 small rivets. Places where you couldn't get a wrench and a nut on the bolt or screw.
Funny, I don't remember being absent minded...
