This was found at an antique store. It's small, only 2 3/4" wide x 4" tall. On the back is stamped "J. WEINAL" Some of the older fellows in our state farrier association told us that during the depression when steel was in short supply, it was common to make shoes from whatever metal could be found. This little shoe appears to be made of roof tin. We are assuming that it is for decorative purposes only, since it is signed, but it is nicely creased and punched so it could be nailed to a very small foot!
