Indian motorcycle bracket?

[K8096]

I recently bought an old Packard, and among the parts in the trunk was this.   It's a bracket with an Indian logo on it.   Is it for an Indian motorcycle?   If so, what era?

Yes and no, as well as motorcycles, Indian also made car shock absorbers (they also built outboard motors) and I think this is a part of a shock absorber. I've seen them before, although I can't find a decent photo of one to show you. The best I can find is this one, If you look at the attached link and look at the clamp on the assembly on the right, that's what I think this is. I think they were built during the 20's.
