John,

Those are kerkhaert. They offer that style shoe in both creased and plain stamped.

If you want the model numbers I can send em.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Brian, but I do very few STB's now, just always used half round, nail usually flush, because of less drag. At Pro farrier supplies they stock pretty well anything you want.

Yes and if he's not, he'll probably still be a klutz, like me in a ballet uniform.

I keep a bunch on the truck myself in both 5/8 and 7/8,oddly enough, I don't have one standardbred on the books Happy new year!

T. Wm. HALL OFFLINE Very Senior Member Posts: 584 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 1	Jaye, The Hammer pictured in your photo with the Wedge Pad sets, What Brand/Maker of Hammer is that? I had a guy give me one just like that several weeks ago that I cleaned up, and brought back from the dead. It is about 1.75lb and one of the best feeling hammers that I have ever had. Thanks.

Thanks Jake,

That is what I was leaning towards guessing, I had seen one listed on Ebay a while back. It's a nice hammer, I actually like it better than his newer hammers that I have.

The neighbor of a client had given it to me, he had no use for it. He "thought it was a 'Horse Shawer' hammer", is what he said to me. It had been laying in the bottom of his Pump-House, in the mud for probably it's entire life. He took a bag of Red-Man that I had in trade, and we were both plumb tickled!

I stripped it down, cleaned and buffed it off, put a new handle (Framing Hammer) and sanded it down just right, and have been using it ever since.

Sorry to change subjects, but I just wanted to briefly ask....
