Old vintage horseshoe they are new old stock I have some smaller ice/pulling shoes in another listing From what I could find on these they are either Ice or pulling shoes around here in the hills of Pennsylvania they were probably used for both applications they were found under a old stair case in a feed/grist mill that was built in the late 1700's and closed in the late 1980's my guess is they were put there when people stopped using horses probable in the 1930's since the mill was converted from water to electric in the 30's and some of the parts from the old water system was put away with them [Please Look at all the pictures they are part of the description] [B1-F1-AV-S1-1]
