Mounting Block Behind Ford's?

[Laurie Verge]

Most of the carriage blocks that I have seen are fairly large. I suspect that accommodations had to be made for the ladies who could not see where they were stepping because of their large hoop skirts. Too small a mount might cause an accidental fall. God forbid that a tumble might expose anything higher than a lady's instep!

Glad to have you posting again, Joe. You have great photos to share.
