Dean A. Smith, of Clyde, Ohio, said Item No. 1244 is a yoke that goes around a calf’s neck to keep it from jumping a fence.
Teri Horning sent us the item from the Frostville Museum and Historic Village, near North Olmsted, Ohio. The piece was donated to the museum, and they are stumped.
Take another look, and let us know if you agree with Dean.
