Members catskin Posted March 25, 2011 Members Report Posted March 25, 2011 Sorry but I mildly disagree. I have several sets of wooden hames here, some likely a 100 years old, and have seen a lot of others. The reason they don't seem to me to be hames are the ends appear to have the same curve at both ends and the round rings on the ends. BUT there may have been some like that. The size is hard to tell but it looks small to me. Actually hame was my first thought but looking closer I changed my mind. Yep Im going with hames mcn got it id say. Wooden Hames Quote

Dan Marbut Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Posted March 30, 2011 naw it isnt any kind of hames that I have seen or can imagine. I've shown it to several several older men who drove mules and horses all their lives. Maybe some type hames from somewhere else but not native I don't believe. I titled some of the pics with the measurements where I could Yep Im going with hames mcn got it id say. Wooden Hames from another country....hmm that is the best description I have heard. That is gonna send me on a search, lol. Thanks I am encouraged again it's a Harness that could have came from Holland and was used to pull a milk cart.. Quote
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted March 30, 2011 Members Report Posted March 30, 2011 I'm gonna say that it is a decorative item made to confuse future generations. Why the interest in this item? Just to know, or does it pertain to something else? Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
