Some contemporary. This includes one very rare one made of iron with a key. After everybody got tired of the Indian's cutting the rope on leather hobbles and stealing their horses and mules, the idea came up to make them out of uncutable iron. Problem was, the Indians went to ham-stringing (cutting the tendons) of the animals rendering them totally worthless and having to put the animal down. So this type of hobble was used for a very short time as people went to leather or rope. 1870s.
