For some types of horseshoes,  see the reproduced Russell and  Erwin 
llustrated Catalogue  of American Hardware,  1980, p.  250.  

ot specifically about horseshoes, but for a font of historical information 
about blacksmithing, there is
ractical Blacksmithing, M. T. Richardson,  1978, which is a  reproduction 
f  volumes published in 1889-1891.

Hello-  we are in the process of expanding our archaeology lab and are 
ealizing that  we are missing some typologies.  Does anyone have any references 
for  typologies of 19th century horseshoes and/or butchery practices of the 
18th-20th centuries?  I seem to recall a study looking at how cuts of  
eef changed over time, with recognizable associated bones, but can't remember  
here it might be.  Any suggestions?
