Hanes

[Bailey Creek,5759]

I have a Set of Harness, some have steel hanes and some with wood.

I noticed writting on the wooden ones.

Got a piece of paper and a pencel. Traced the lettering on the paper.

It says Seventh Cavalry. Picked up the harness in Missouri 30 yrs ago.

All I know of Hanes is underwear.  

 

Should this be hames, or haines?  That's a straight up question as I see it spelled differently when Googled. But mostly it's hames.

Hame - attaches to the horse collar and traces.

Well 7th Cav MOH for Little Bighorn Charles Windolph made Harnesses for Homestake Gold Mine In Lead SD after he got out , He might have worn Hanes while doing it My grandfather never asked ??

Have you researched the item as far as possible date of manufacture? The 7th was active long after the Little Big Horn fight.

Side bar. My daughter and I were going to buy a pair of draft horses, get a wagin etc. The horses were around $5K each. The harness for 1 was $10K.

We moved on.
