Even though a Western Blacksmith’s work was never done, downtimes sometimes called for a little creative departure from the norm. Blacksmiths thought up creative uses for horseshoes that were a bit different than just shoeing horses. From designing coat racks to building household decor, one use was creating mind challenging Horseshoe Puzzles. From Double Horseshoe puzzles, the idea for a Triple Horseshoe was formulated. These are fun to play with, and create a great piece of coffee table trivia.

True to Western Custom, one item is familiar to western themes, wagon trains, and ranches of the Old West. That item is the Dinner Bellldinerbell. Blacksmiths and Farriers of the past fabricated these hand-forged, triangular attention-getters in their shops, along with shoeing horses, and fixing wagons. True to western custom, these are still being crafted by skilled blacksmiths. These are great for farms, ranches, cabins, or anyplace where it’s time to call the hands in for lunch or dinner. These are available in different sizes and diameters. Larger Dinner Bells are naturally louder & will draw more attention. These are also great just as a decor item. Consider adding a vintage style, handcrafted Dinner Bell to fit your application.

Hartford Crystal Monogrammed Doorknob

Hartford Crystal Monogrammed Doorknob

Monograms have a rich history; probably dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks and before. The actual definition of a monogram is a symbol made by the overlapping or combining of two or more letters. They can be made into recognizable logos and trademarks. Individual letter, or combined letter monograms give a personalized touch to items such as luggage, clothing, etc. Personalized Doorknobs are an extension of personality and pride associated with home ownership, name, family, or organization. In a home they could be used to differentiate one’s room or space; or just add a personal identifying touch to the whole room motif. Another creative use might be a coat rack w/ knobs used as hangers personalized with each family member’s initials. There are probably many possibilities for these, left only to one’s imagination.
