This auction lot features a collection of four vintage primitive wooden horse harness hames, used historically as part of a draft animal or mule collar system. These heavy-duty curved wooden pieces are reinforced with iron straps and feature classic cutout metal adjustment rails along the upper section. The grouping includes two hames complete with integrated large iron iron rings and hooks, while the other two display smooth wooden faces secured with heavy iron rivets. Each piece showcases decades of authentic wear, weathered grain, and a rich dark patina with uniform superficial oxidation on the metal components from long-term barn storage. These primitives serve as a remarkable addition to collections of early agricultural implements, equestrian history, or rustic farmhouse and ranch wall decor. Please inspect all the provided close-up photographs to carefully evaluate the exact wood grain, iron hardware configurations, and overall cosmetic condition.
