How about a "what is it" bit, here.

At our street rod Tuesday AM coffee, a friend did what he often does, brings us things from 100+ years ago and passes them around to see who can guess.

I was almost spot-on, the guy next to me got it right, the next fellow over guessed: "tap shoes for dancing cows".
So if anyone guesses that's what these are - no, they aren't tap shoes for dancing cows.

I would guess Ox shoes. Seen something similar in rural Thailand being put on a Ox.

I didn't think of ox shoes in particular, but I knew that those are "shoes" for some large animal.

Shoes for my mother-in-law then?

Shoes for the devil.
It is not horse shoes that are lucky, it is oxen shoes. They should be aimed up like a U to hold in your luck, unless you are a blacksmith then they face down like the picture to pour luck into your work.

ox shoes for ice. In the days of cutting blocks of ice from frozen lakes, etc. - and ox pulled the loads of ice blocks. The guy said he got them out of a barrel from an old-timer who had several of them in different sizes.
