AMISH HORSE SHOE BRIDLE HOOKS

In addition to making candles and soaps and weaving baskets my Amish neighbors have a small blacksmith shop where they shoe horses and such.  While visiting one day I noticed they were taking some old discarded horse shoes and bending them into hooks to hang bridles on.  I suggested a bit of cleaning up and paint and these would make attractive coat or utility hooks so they made a few "nice" ones up for me to sell here;-)  The used shoe is placed in a hand fanned forge until it is red hot before it is bent so even though these have all been on horses' feet any undesirable dirt or germs are completely burned away.  Once they have been bent and cooled they are painted with black enamel automotive paint that does not rub off.  As pictured above they can be bent either right or left so using 2 opposite bends makes a nice display rack for anything you might like to hang between them or several may be set in a line for a nice coat rack or whatever else you may like. 

PRICE  $7.50 each or 5 for $35

Order as:

ITEM# 300 LEFT BENT HORSE SHOE HOOK (on left in picture above)
ITEM# 301 RIGHT BENT HORSE SHOE HOOK (on right in picture above)

NOTE that just as no 2 horses have the exact same sized hooves the size and arc shape on these will vary wildly.  I'll do my best to match up orders for multiple hooks as closely as possible but the only guarantee I can give is that they are NOT going to match perfectly;-)

 


AMISH HORSE SHOE BATHROOM TISSUE DISPENSER HOOKS

What can I say about these other than the pics tell the story;-)  Just like the hooks in the ad above these can be either right or left bent to suit your desires and will definitely spiff up your outhouse nicely;-)  Even holds those extra big ultra roll effortlessly and changing rolls couldn't be easier with no spring loaded axels to mess with.  Can also double as a general utility hook if you need something straight as opposed to the hooks above.

PRICE  $7.50 each or 5 for $35

Order as:

ITEM# 302 LEFT BENT HORSE SHOE BATHROOM TISSUE HOOK (NOT pictured but will be the mirror image of the hook shown in the pic)
ITEM# 303 RIGHT BENT HORSE SHOE HOOK (picture above)

NOTE that just as no 2 horses have the exact same sized hooves the size and arc shape on these will vary wildly.  I'll do my best to match up orders for multiple hooks as closely as possible but the only guarantee I can give is that they are NOT going to match perfectly;-)
