| Like Idaho Jones said interesting piece of history you have there. Do you know if they were used all over or only in the US.

I have no idea as to it's use anywhere else. I do know that they did not last long.
The gas powered motor vehicles were poised to take over at that particular time in history.
It did not take long for the horse drawn pump wagons to dissapear.
The one I have has blacksmithing marking on it which would suggest that it never got finished.
I found it with several other items that appears as if a metal working facility had cleaned out it's shop and threw it away.
Hoof covers are still in use today but for a different purpose. Show horses such as the Draft horses are sometimes garnished with a thinner version just for show. Those are highly polished and do not necessarily have a purpose.
Good question wish I had more on it but there seems to be very little background on them other than what I have allready stated.
Have a good day Xavier.
