    12x8 inches - I'm thinking U.S. Made pre 1950's due to the rivet construction. The welded examples of these were post WW2 and largely imported from what I've seen. s-l1600 - 2022-11-14T110527.558.jpg s-l1600 - 2022-11-14T110611.417.jpg

    Could even be as early as the 20s but lack of hammering on the straps does make me think a bit later.

    Some blacksmith saw one and thought "I could make that", and promptly did. Rivets make me think it's old too; by the 50s it would have been welded.
