    Shannon,
    looks like a working horse hind shoe, similar set up is still used by many pulling horses, ie the pulling horse competitions. the nail pattern and crease looks like a Phoenix brand to me.

    Drafthorshoer,
    if an ice shoe ,round here, the toe chaulk and outside heel would be sharpened.

    There hasen't been enough ice in Shannon's area for ice shoes since the last ice age.
    I see a lot of those around, I think Ray nailed it.

    I didn't know where Shannon was from and I figured the sharp points had worn/rusted away.

    Drafthorseshoer,

    the points may have rusted away,who knows,
    It looks to me that one heel chaulk was turned or added square and the other was 1/2 rounded.

    I usually don t find things like that unless i buy a brand new lawn mower!

    Lawn mowers are the greatest metal detectors on the planet.
