First up is the Citation horseshoe plaque, a shield-shaped walnut wall mount bearing an actual chrome horseshoe from the legendary 1948 Triple Crown champion, identified by an engraved silver nameplate. The plaque measures approximately 9 inches tall and hangs via a rear D-ring bracket, showing honest age-appropriate patina on the wood and hardware. A genuine conversation piece that connects you directly to one of racing's immortal names.
Next is the Bull Lea horseshoe plaque, an identical shield-format walnut mount displaying a chrome horseshoe from the celebrated Calumet Farm sire, labeled with a brass nameplate engraved with his name. Bull Lea was the leading American sire five times and the father of Citation himself, making this pairing with his famous son nothing short of extraordinary. Both plaques show matching construction and comparable vintage wear, suggesting they were produced together as a commemorative set.
The horse racing wall lamp features a round wooden base approximately 6 inches in diameter, adorned with a copper-tone relief medallion depicting a horse head framed inside a horseshoe. A brass lamp arm rises from the base supporting a cream linen shade with gold trim, measuring roughly 13 inches tall overall. The lamp is plug-in style with vintage white cloth-wrapped cord and shows age-appropriate wear to the wood base, making it a charming piece of equestrian decor ready for rewiring review before use.
Rounding out the lot is a vintage black-and-white lithograph or charcoal-style print of a jockey astride a galloping thoroughbred, presented in a black wooden frame measuring approximately 13 by 11 inches. The image is rendered in fine stipple or lithographic technique with strong contrast and a soft sepia-toned paper ground showing age foxing and toning consistent with mid-20th century printing. The backing shows moisture staining but the front image remains visually strong, and a faint artist signature appears in the lower right corner of the print.
