Yours is probably 19th century due to the "turn up" at the end of the shoe. Earlier shoes tended to be wider, and later ones later had that bar at the horse's toe. If it's cleaned up, and we can see if there is a recessed channel, that might help, but Creskol is correct. They are tough to date. I find this style on Civil War sites.
Thanks i have that book. What is your guess as to which one it is ad a rough date?
