Re: old time strong man story Tisdale Jowett

[Guest guest]

, From your text one can see that Jowett may have directly inspired the Weider Iron Horseshoe, which I used a lot in my teenage years. It had a strong isometric finish. It was made of tube steel, but shaped much like this product made by York. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-vintage-york-iron-horseshoe-117237963 Unfortunately I threw mine out when the chain broke. Cordially, Marc
