I bought this lovely old Horse Bit to display as a piece of sculpture. The iron monger who made it took great care in the shapes he created. The swirls are graceful and unique, yet slightly different. Copperplate was inlayed into incised lines in the center of the bit. The openings for the bridle are delicate and yet strong. I have no idea how old it is. It measures approximately 5 1/4\" x 4 1/2\". I would love who ever buys it to appreciate it for it\'s beauty as well as it\'s history.
