What Is This?

[minelabex1000]

Found this sometime back and hung it in my garage. It looks like something for a horse but not sure exactly what you'd call it. It's rusty but solid and may be made out of brass.

It's about 30 inches long. I should clean it up. Any ideas on how I should do this?

Thanks

It looks like a piece of the harness like they have on the budwieser clydesdales.

I believe it is for harnessing a horse team. ?It's called a hame. ?It's item number 11 in the picture on this link. ?http://www.horsedriver.com/cart/harness.html

Try some Brasso. I saw somebody use one as house name and #. They attached it to some posts and put it out by the driveway.

Yes! thanks so much! Also thanks for the link. I seem to find lots of this kind of stuff because I like to hunt old houses.

Thanks everyone!

Should I clean it?

Very nice relic,got to be more on that site.HH

I agree. I plan to do a very careful search.? However, right now two troubles prevent me from fulfilling my wish:

1) snow trouble

2) back trouble

Nature will take care of the snow trouble.? The back trouble is caused by front trouble....POP BELLY?

Oh I do so hate ta diet!

Well Mding will take care of the front problem as well. Try a competition hunt and after bending over and up after a 20+ minute hunt you'll think you have been out all day. Makes a walk in the park a walk in the park
