I have a couple of these antique horse/wagon things and am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to repurpose them...I've thought of using them as hooks/hangers, but anything else creative you can think of? They are about 3 feet long. Thanks!

I think it would be cut just hung on a wall...above a window, above a door, above some pictures, Or you could could use it to hang pictures off of.

You could add some wire baskets and hooks and make a chandy or really neat pot holder, add wood and brackets and make shelf or add ribbon and thrift end picture frames and hang! :) hope this helps

Curtain rod or hang pictures from it or attach lights from it

Ah, a single tree. Most have hand forged metal rings too. These things are very heavy so you will want to make sure it is securely attached. I bought one for $5.00 and it hangs in my husband's blacksmith forge.

If you have a daughter, or guest room, I would suggest using one as the anchor for a canopy over an old bed? Or even let the curtains fall down the wall from one of these. Another idea is to put hooks across one and mount it to the wall for an interesting coat hook.

I'm seeing a square wreath or a picture or 2 hanging from it.

I like the idea of the pictures. Maybe like a picture molding. With them hung different heights, suspended from ribbons????

Think I'd use for a flower pot hanger or for lights as already mentioned.

I would get a couple of old horse shoes and some rope .. hang the horse shoes on each side at different lengths. In the middle space (between the horse shoes) find an old antique-looking picture frame and place a picture of you and your significant other or your children or grandchildren. Either stencil directly to the wall or make a small sign that says something like, "Lucky to have you!" It would be great if you have rustic or country home decor. That's what I would do anyway! Post pics of whatever you decide to do! I will be curious!

I would use it to make a pot rack.

I can just imagine a double pendent light fixture somehow. Say hung on a dark chain with dark wire thread through to a couple of lights. The wire could be stapled to the top and run through a small hole drilled through. Then hang it over an island in the kitchen or from the porch ceiling!

Would make great light fixture....Use canning jars for the glass globes....maybe 3. Each end and the middle hanging off the bottom. Use bronze color chain again attaching to each end...joining in the middle to hang.

When I collected primities, I would just hang a single on a wall with a group of other western type items like a metal stirrup, a bit. Wish I had a photo. I like The Homely Fowl's suggestions best.

This is a wooden yoke used with a wagon when using two or more horses. I use mine to display a quilt. I've seen them used outdoors to hang signs and/or lanterns.

I like Linda's idea to use it to hang a quilt or sign. I would also suggest hanging a small colourful rug, but I think you might have to add an extra hook at the centre to hold the rug more securely.

How about hanging some plant from the 2 ends.

I would add hooks down the length of the wood and use it as a hook rack... great find!

I would get an old window and paint a pic on it or put family pics in it and hang.

I think an anchor for hanging a very nice picture. Lots of large pretty ribbon from anchor to frame. If not a large pretty picture shabby chic.
