    Found these (seemingly) old pitching horseshoes - OHIO brand, Pro, Made in Columbus OH. Cannot find any reference online. Any help determining how old they are would be greatly appreciated. Of course, any info regarding history of manufacturer would be great, as well. Thank you!

      Hi, dpauld. :-)

      I think yours may have been made by the Ohio Horseshoe Company.

      Look at the horseshoe at the top right on page 2 of this May 1937 publication of The Horseshoe World (the "NOTCH MODEL"):

      https://www.horseshoepitching.com/HSWorld/May37.pdf

      The Ohio Horseshoe Company seemed not to have put their company name on their pitching horseshoes back in 1937, just "OHIO COLUMBUS."

      Whoops, those pesky keyboard control functions. >8-0

      The NOTCH MODEL didn't seem to have had "PRO" embossed on it, so perhaps yours is a slightly later model.
