Great memory & good follow up. Now I wonder if that piece I have is a heel plate. Can't think of nothing else it be for being it's size & the fact that it was fixed to something.
Take Care,
Pete,

Take Care,
Pete,

Yours shows wear around the outside edge consistent with a tap, but the rivets/nails are huge! Not really sure what it is. Also, it doesn't have the same holes as the martingale plate has.

Now I don't have to wonder whether it's a CW cavalry or 'Ladies of the night' boot heel plate

I sorta like the "Ladies of the Night" attribution myself .. gives a little "zest" to the relic!

Creskol, thank you for posting a photo of the saddlery catalog's cover ...which tells us the name of the company. But the cover does not include the publication-date. I websearched the company (Pierson & Hough, in Detroit), and it seems to date from approximately 1890-to-1930s. (One of the two partners, Mr. Hough, was a saddlery/horsegear maker, born in 1864 ...and I think it's unlikely he would be a business-owner prior to age 21 at the earliest, which for him would be the year 1885.) Please tell us the date of the catalog. Thanks.

Thanks all for looking. Glad this post was helpful.
I will mark it solved just for continuity sakes.
