Hello I thought you might like to see this collection of relics that were found by my step father in 198o's when he gained permission to relic hunt for a few days on what was private property at that time .

Yes it is but I'm not sure what kind.

Yes it is but I'm not sure what kind.

What is the overall length of the bit from measured inside each of the bulbous ends? (meaning the part that would be in the horses mouth)
Awesome display

Man they must have some wild games if they ended up tossing it into the creek haha
On second thought may be a good place to play a friendly game for a few bucks wager.

It's about 4 1/2 inches.

About the size for a large pony/ small horse.
Rough estimates average horse 5-5.5, draft horses 6-7+

Can you give me the measurements laid out in the diagram below for the horseshoes in the display? For the shoe length measure just draw and imaginary line across the two ends of the shoe.
