[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 517977, member: 12692"] yes Foz they look like horseshoe nails if it is magnetic then would have to be steel. I would think a lead shoe would more likely be a paper weight, door stop or ornament. The unusual lamination type of corrosion is most likely due to it being made by hand in a blacksmiths shop & hammered & folded many times. never seen one that old & corroded like that! Given its age Im not asking for a date :lol: . ps, race horse shoes are usually a hard aluminium alloy. [/QUOTE]
