What is it? Cast triangular block

Sorting thru our T parts stash on a rainy day. Came across these.... what are they?

Many thanks for suggestions and insults in advance.

How about something to reference size. Are they one inch or one foot across?

I missed the dimensional reference. They are about one inch at the longest dimension.

I picture an accessory that you would screw down to the floor where your heal would rest for a gas pedal or something similar. But just a guess

Wow, 1" is small. The fender steps I've seen were on Model A's leading up to the rumble seat and were typically about 3" overall?

Maybe pedal extensions for vertically challenged drivers? (my wife is short so I now have to refer to her as vertically challenged:-))
