c. 1880s-1890s; The Capewell Horse Nail Company - Hartford, CT

Color lithographed advertising print promoting Capewell Horse Nails, displayed in a period wood frame with gilt liner behind glass. The illustration depicts a blacksmith shoeing a horse while a well-dressed gentleman observes, surrounded by decorative graphics incorporating horseshoe nails into the border. Promotional text emphasizes the product's reliability with claims including "They Never Crimp, Split or Break" and "They are Uniform, Strong and Perfect." The lower margin identifies The Capewell Horse Nail Company and lists its Hartford, Connecticut headquarters along with domestic branch offices and a London factory, underscoring the firm's broad international distribution. A blank retailer panel at the bottom was intended for imprinting the name of a local hardware dealer or blacksmith supply merchant.

Founded in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1881, The Capewell Horse Nail Company became one of the world's leading manufacturers of horseshoe nails and farrier supplies. Its products were exported internationally and heavily promoted through illustrated trade advertising distributed to blacksmiths, hardware dealers, and agricultural suppliers during the height of the horse-powered era.

Print behind glass. Displays moderate age-related wear consistent with age and display. The wood frame exhibits scattered scratches, finish wear, and losses to the gilt liner. Two mitered corner joints are loose, and one side of the frame has a noticeable chip, as photographed. The print shows typical age-related toning with light surface wear visible under the glass. The reverse retains its original wood backing and hanging wire with expected age-related wear. Please review photographs for a complete assessment of condition.
