Edge Report post Posted May 15, 2022 Took 50 years to find one of these, probably never find another here in the desert. Tell me what it's called. Up for grabs is an imaginary chicken dinner. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, awesome find! Can't help but think you are the real winner! Also, were you metal detecting or did you spot it on the ground? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zslayer Report post Posted May 16, 2022 What year would this be form? What would they have been using the Ox for? Cool find! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted May 16, 2022 It was commercially made, not hand forged. It's even stamped I R for inside right. I doubt they've been made commercially since driving ox fell out of favor over a century ago. Ox often pulled ore wagons in AZ where trains didn't operate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
