Antique identificaion?
Looking to find out what this is? I know it might look like an easel for pic., but will not hold one well and would cover up all the work on it. Cast iron and old. Maybe a good luck piece, maybe from a lodge? and ideas? I would appreciate the help!

I think what you are doing is not hovering over your photo at PB which allows the drop down box of links to appear. You then select the link with the IMG code in brackets.

I have done a lot of pics from PB, but they have changed their format and apperance and I will have to learn again. I thought they now had a copy and paste and or drag and drop. Thanks again!

Just curious, why would anyone horseshoe a deer or elk? (see the little critter at the bottom?)

May have been a "salesmans sample" of sorts.
You know a black smith showing off his talent to gain additional work.

Its prolly a reindeer, they need shoes to keep their feet warm.

It is cast iron, so nothing a blacksmith made.
Could that be a rifle across the base, just under the reindeer?
How big is it? Tall? Wide?

Interesting that there seems to be a little hook on the added metalwork near the heel of the shoe on the left side. Almost seems as this would have some function.

Tink - that is one of the things that made me think boot jack. The tab on the bottom right used to clean the mud between the heel/sole. The tabs on the bottom of the horse shoe used to wedge your heel into for leverage and the notch on the left side to cradle the heel of the boot while you pull your foot up/out.
Nothing other than a wild guess on my part though.
