I've found two of these the last few days, one small (~1"), the other
several times larger. Just wondering what the proper name for them is.

Close, but no cigar. None of the pictures I saw look exactly like the
pieces I have. They're more or less morphologically the same (sorry to
use such a big word, but it fits), but there are some important
differences. My pieces have a fairly long unthreaded shank, with
relatively few threads at the end, which suggests they're supposed to
stand proud of the surface they're attached to. There's also a ring,
like an attached washer, below the "eye".

Someone else here suggested a clevis: sorry, not that either. A clevis
generally has two prongs through which a pin goes. So I still don't know
what to call these.

Your defense of your posting peccadilloes caused you to take your eye
off the ball. If you had searched for clevis pins, and did an image
search from there, or leafed through a catalog, it would have led you
to this:

Me? take my eye off the ball? I represent that remark.

Anyhow, bingo: you win the contest. Your $2.50 check will be mailed to
you shortly.

Yes, this could be a male clevis which would normally fit in a slot or
female clevis, the one with two prongs. Function rather than form
often determines its name. shackle, eyebolt or clevis may all be
correct. Hope this helps. Dont expect to find this at the hardware
store.

Now that someone posted a link to a picture properly, I know what it
is. Those shackles are VERY common, and it is hard to imagine a
hardware store that DIDN'T carry them. They are used for wire rigging,
such as used to cable trees. You'll have to buy the shackle along with
the threaded clevis pin, but they aren't expensive, either. If you
want stainless steel versions, they are all over the place on boat
rigging.

I had the impression his was designed for a specific purpose with the
long shank and short threaded area. On the other hand he may just need
an eyebolt.
