Horse shoes are one of the hardest relics to ID a date on.
They have been making them the same way for years.
At any rate We need a picture to even guess at a date range.

Welcome to Tnet from Toronto Draz.
A picture say's a thousand words or in this case just one... 'horseshoe'.

The ground is almost thawed here in the Durham Region, all we need now is some rain.

Not a horse shoe, an Ox shoe.

I don't think it is a shoe of any kind.

If you look at it closely you can see the nail groove is there it's just full of rust.

I am not seeing anything that looks like a defined fuller to me, and the hook design isn't consistent with any shoe that I know of.

Looking at it now it looks too small to be a an Ox shoe, should have paid closer attention to the lighter.
