What is it?

Something horse or carriage related? I am usually good at tracking these things down but this giving me trouble..

 

Dimensions?

 

11" long. 5" tall

 

The angle makes me think saddle related but i cant find anything.

 

neat...

 

I'm thinking it bolts to a wagon or implement then attaches to another implement - just a guess

 

OK. I think its a rein terret. Getting similar hits on that search.

Thanks all.

 

good call..........i thought so too and found this.....

Yes sadly im not gonna get much for it. I might re-purpose it for something. It does have a cool look.

What you show in your first picture and then what you show what you think it is ain't the same thing I say. Your original pictures show long sticking bolts with nuts on them - your second picture actually shows something a horse can wear without irritation. I'm saying it may be a similar item - just not exact.

 

Yes. I would hazard a guess that mines a different maker/design and missing the leather part. Probably long rotted off. That worthpoint.com one is even closer to mine still not exact.

 

Well of course not - yours may be even a one of a kind set up as farmers fabbed their own equipment as needed - they couldn't just "Go to market" and afford to buy one.

 

did u see my link...?

 

Somewhat late to the party and it’s already been identified. The screws would have gone down into a heavily padded leather roller that went around the horses girth.
