During our demolition of this 1880 brick building located in the small farming village of Bloomville, Ohio, we often come across unusual brick with prints cast in them. These prints are usually animal footprints. During the 1880s brick were handmade locally. A pit was dug to unearth the clay. The clay was generally allowed to soften in the pit filled with water. Often times a team of horses would be walked over the clay to soften and break down even further. The clay would then be placed into wooden molds and eventually arranged into the open fields for the sun to dry. During this time that the bricks were laying in the fields, animals of all varieties and curiosities would amble over the still-soft clay and cast their footprints into eternity! These brick footprints have not seen the light of day for over 140 years until now! Perfect gift for someone wanting a unique historical piece of Americana! Brick measure 2-1/2 thick x 4 wide x 8 length and weigh around 4 lbs.
