Great photo essay.  

 

Here's a photo of something rarely encountered or at least recorded in the day.  It's a stack of old horse shoes outside my great uncle, Henry's wagon shop in Germania, Pennsylvania around 1910.  His son, Arden stands atop it.

This is just crazy!

Mind you, crazier is the ginormous piles of tyres we have today!

I ask why, the answer was, because it was easier to load them on a wagon for scrap and as an advertisement and testament to how many horses he'd shod.    Besides, it looked kinda cool!

Weight, like stacking rocks.  It's a solid interlocked pile.

 

A better question is, how did it get so tall?  It looks like it's at least 3 M high, Did he have the boy stack them with from ladder?  I wonder how long it took...
