I found this with a few other parts I purchased this morning. The guy wasn’t sure and gave it to me so of course, I took it. Can anybody Identify its authenticity and what it’s supposed to be made of cause this one is not firm, it’s a bit mushy. I thought they were made of plywood or something along those lines.
Thanks

Looks right to me.....even down to the rusty clasp!

The material covering the dog bone looks correct.
The webbing on the strap looks correctamundo.
And the clasp...

Bingo, I'd say you have an authentic dog bone.
Looks identical to the one I have.
Others can chime in as well.

Not sure if there are any non factory dog bones out there?

If it's mushy, perhaps the innards are bad.
Mine is a bit firm with some foam on the outside underneath the felt????

Thanks for your input Raynekat.
BINGO is right!! This was one of those elusive pieces to complete my project.

I’ve had half a dozen of them. Your piece looks as real as any Ive seen.
