Beautiful Old Farrier's Box with Iron Corner Reinforcements wooden pencil box Each measures 7 7/8" in

Each measures 7 7/8" in diameter and 2 1/2" tall

and ferociously bared teeth

I believe this old hand-forged iron ring might have been part of a yoke or harness

Beautiful Old Farrier's Box with Iron Corner Reinforcements wooden pencil box Each measures 7 7/8" inI believe this is an old farrier box, used for storing and carrying tools for shoeing horses, and certainly it has done a lot of work, with these beautiful iron corner reinforcements added long ago. Hand forged iron nails, original red paint, and a leather strap that once would have adjusted but was fixed in place at some point along the way. Very sturdy and useful still as a carrying box for tools or whatever, but also just a gorgeous object. 13 3 4"
