Another treasure offered here from the paring down of our years of accumulation, this unfinished hand forged horse shoe is a rarely surviving example of a horse shoe blank as would have been blacksmith forged in quantity with issue and ultimate final fitting and application by the farrier. This seldom encountered example of the type will be of special significance to the Civil War cavalry enthusiast and the 5th New York Cavalry collector in particular as it bears a bold identification to A. D. Stiles with notation to Addison D, Stiles who enlisted in the 5th New York Cavalry as farrier Co. F. Period records show that Stiles was ultimately promoted to Regimental Farrier (see: fold 3 & ancestry.com. Offered here as found we assume the well-aged tag identification to have been the product of a post-Civil War loan for display as was common to many GAR posts.
