<p>[QUOTE="Darkwing Manor, post: 1272951, member: 738"]I can't say for sure, but when I saw it I immediately thought covered wagon item. I was a curator for many years at the Southern Oregon Historical Society and we have a large collection of Oregon/ Applegate Trail artifacts. Nothing pops up in their on-line search. Couldn't be a skid shoe, but if it was used for grease there should definitely be residue. Sure looks like the right form from the limited on-line images. I expect with the challenging environment , weight restrictions and limited ability to carry precious equipment, everything served a dual purpose.[ATTACH=full]217444[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
