Giant Grip Forging Store Display - Souvenir - Blacksmith popular Horseshoe Rustic Industrial Advertising Sign

Here is one I haven't seen before. This miniature horseshoe measures only about 3 1/4" x 2 3/4". popular It advertises for "Giant Grip Mfg Co ... Forgings ... R. Gieringer" which is all embossed into the forged horseshoe along the curved edge. The unique size makes me think this was an early form of advertising given out by the company, but the lack of other known examples could mean it was used as a point of purchase at a location for customers to see first hand.

Regardless of it's purpose, this piece is a great example of early advertising, and will make an awesome addition to any collection. There are no breaks in the cast iron / metal. The horseshoe does display some minor wear from use and storage over the years. Please look at photos to get a better idea of condition. If you have any questions, please ask!

*Make sure to keep stopping by the shop! New antiques, collectibles & advertising items are always coming in!
