Look what I was able to buy!
A cast iron fireplace horse shoe!
I found it at an antique mall of all places. It cost $22.50! You read that correctly, twenty two dollars and fifty cents!It is about 1" too wide to rest flush with the marble due to the 'molding" near the base of the marble sides. I will have to cut and file some small notches on each side of the horse shoe to get it to lay flush, but hey, what a find! I will just have to find a cover now... you wait and see, that will cost $225....

Wow. Beautiful. A very nice Christmas gift, and at $22.50 it's almost like giving it away.
ReplyDeleteSo, does the iron horseshoe have a functional purpose, or is it purely decorative. Most of the house around Atkins are not nice enough to have something like that. I've never seen one in the flesh, so I don't know. Thanks.
BEEEUTIFUL! Great find!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations! That is a great find at an even better price. Man, they don't even sell that cheap on Ebay. Good luck with the cover though, I've seen prices for that whewwwwww.
ReplyDeleteAs Paris Hilton would say, "that's hot!"
ReplyDeleteA marble fireplace?? How did I miss this on your blog? You really have the mansion on the hill thing goin' there- kudos!
p.s. did you get a warm up at all? Here we are up to 40 degrees.
$22.50?
ReplyDeleteThat's, like, the scrap metal value of it!
