Pair of Oxen Yoke Pins (tied together with wire)

This is a pair of oxen yoke pins. They fit through the hole in the hoops that go around the oxen's neck and keep the hoops from falling off. When unhitching the oxen from the yoke, you squeeze the pins outer finger grips, and now the pin can be pulled out of the hoop's hole.
I have these two pins tied together with wire.
If you look at the last photo, you may be able to see the pin as it is installed through the hoop, to keep the hoop from falling off. this is not my oxen yoke. I copied this photo from the internet to show how the pin is used.
There are several types of yoke pins that were used over the years, some were just wedges stuck through a square hole.
Several years ago, I posted the oxen yoke that I own. It has a pair of steel hoops (I have yet to see another oxen yoke with steel hoops) and it uses the steel square wedges like I described. Check it out!
