Something to do with horse shoes...

I think I read those are horseshoes that helped a horse when they had issues. Like a cracked hoof or something....but why would you find so many?

Lol. There was only one pair. Just many pics to show the defining characteristics. Maybe you are correct. I have no idea... I tried to search the tools used for making shoes and these were nowhere to be found in the results.

As for the latches, I'm almost positive those aren't old-they look exactly like an upper buckle and adjuster for a shoulder strap used on some overalls, or more commonly on snowpants..

Are you sure? The design might be similar but it is quite big for snow pants. I put a quarter and a 6" ruler next to it.
