Description: | A complete, Post Medieval, forged, wrought iron, medium size, tongue horseshoe (1750-1815). This horseshoe has a 'U' or tunnel-like shappe, inner edge plan with a relatively wide frog and heels wide apart - usually used on riding horses. There are three rectangular nail holes on each branch with both terminating in a pronounced tapered and turned under calkins. There is no fullering which could indicate an early date which is likely to be around 1700. The horseshoe is complete with relatively stable, even rusty brown surface. Ref. Detector Finds 3, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publications 1997, page 40-41 and Old Horseshoes, Shire Publication19, Ivan G. Sparkes, Shire Publishing, page 17-21 and inside cover. The horseshoe is 106.25mm long, 102.43mm wide, 16.2mm thick and weighs 280.00g
