Can anyone identify this? It was in a box of 1913 Model T parts but I don't know if it belonged there. It might be some after-market thing but what is it?

After-market luggage holder. The metal bracket clamps onto the running board, and the leather belt straps around the suitcase or whatever to hold it in place.

Looks like a nice one in need of a new belt.

I do not need it. I already have a couple nice ones myself.

To others, other than needing a new belt, this is a nice looking one. Most similar running board luggage belt clamps are pressed steel. This one appears to be cast iron, a bit more unusual, and a bit nicer looking. A good harness shop should be able to provide a quality replacement belt set for it. Model T people often put a picnic basket in them for car shows.
