Old Hand-forged Horseshoe Shaped Branding Iron with Carved Wooden Handle animal print so the first page ("Resignation"I always look at old branding irons when I come across them, but haven't been able to commit to one simply bearing someone's initials, which is what one most often sees. I do really love a good luck horseshoe, though, so this one sold me immediately, and with a nice carved handle still on it too, which in my experience is pretty rare to find. Definitely well used, and with a great form, grip and super smooth surface on the handle. 14 7 8 l x 3 1 4 t x
