Description: Antique ~ Turn of the CenturyAdirondack Hand Forged Cast Iron HORSESHOE Comes With Hanger Attached For Easy DisplaySHIPPING WITH INSURANCE This heavy collectible antique horseshoe is more than a century old, where it hung inside the Game House Dock at the original Blythewood Estate Mansion on Lake George, NY in the Adirondack Mountains. Horseshoes have long been considered lucky. Originally made of iron, a material that was believed to ward off evil spirits, and were traditionally held in place with seven nails, seven being the luckiest number in many ancient (and modern) cultures. A Saint Patrick's Day staple, horse shoes have long been associated with good fortune/luck, although there's an ongoing debate over the proper way to use them when attempting to attract this good fortune. The controversy is about the proper direction to nail a horseshoe over a door, legs up or legs pointed down? Some people say you should hang the horseshoe with the ends, the heels pointing up, so the good luck it brings won't drain out. Others say the heels should be pointing down, so the good luck falls on anybody passing through the doorway. Clearly, you can see that this horseshoe was hung so good luck fell on all who entered the Game House on the lake. So hang your horseshoe any old way you want, and hope it brings you good luck!
