Searching for hardware. Crescent-shaped nut.

Used to join sections of a bed, as a draw-bolt.

In the photo, it looks like a forged part. Short of finding
a blacksmith, your best bet might be (1) find matching-diameter
rod stock or pipe, drilling/tapping/hacksawing, or (2) using a
regular nut and a really thick square chunk of steel as a
washer.

Alternative 2 will crush some of the wood fiber,but you
could combine the two, first lining the hole with a tube, then
piercing the tube and fitting a loose nut inside the tube.

Bed bolts are available, of course, but that's most useful for a
new design, won't necessarily fit your existing frame.
See, for instance,

That's a new one for me. Looks like could be fabricated fairly easily
from a piece of flat iron, though.

Ah...a one-tailed one, but would likely work, yes.

What's wrong with cutting a peice of the proper sized exhaust tubing
in half and to the proper length, and brazing a nut over a drilled
hole?

Looks like the connectors for the joints in laminate countertops.
