Howdy folks; Two Feathers here, with something different. Own a piece that will be sure to make folks look. It's a replica from the Fur Trade era.
Here's 1 handmade Iron horseshoe nail cross with Buckskin thong. Price: $20.00 +$4.00 s&h. This cross measures 2-1/4” high by 1-3/4” across. It's made from 2 Iron Horse Shoe nails, cut and soldered to form the cross. These nails have been modified to look exactly like 1700’s horse shoe nails, then aged. The cross is wrapped at the connecting joint with tin plated Copper wire and soldered again for further strength. There is a soft Buckskin thong attached, that measures 18” folded. It can be cut and retied to accommodate your desired length.
Many a Mountain Man and fur trapper had his scalp saved by wearing one of these. Even though the Indians were considered Savages, they held Christian symbols in great regard with their belief of a higher power. They might have been considered savages, but many weren’t uncivilized in that sense. Most Indians would never harm a White man wearing a Christian symbol or carrying a Bible. This would look great on you at your next rendezvous or living history gathering; and you will fit right in with the fur trapper crowd from the 1700’s. If you dress to be the Reverend; “preacher man”, or Padre’, this will set you apart from the rest of the group. Since I make these one at a time, no two will be exactly the same. I use only 100% American sourced materials. Please support American craftspeople.
If you’re interested PM me here.
As always, thanks for looking.
God bless:
