Details about RARE ANTIQUE HORSE MANE LAYER TOOL - very
A rare antique horse mane layer tool, which I believe is from late 19th/early 20th century. It is a heavy steel clamp with the centre bar covered in rubber to grip onto the mane, I understand that it was originally used to get the horse's mane to all lie on the same side. In good, antique condition. Rubber is a little perished and quite hard, and the metal is slightly pitted with a small amount of rust. Has original fly nut and washer. It has the number stamped on the end. Please see photos. Measures approx. 14.5" long and weighs approx. g. Thank you for looking.
