Anyone know anything about antique spurs?

[Bates]

I found one old spur not in the greatest condition but I know value depends on age who used it and what for really more than condition I don't know anything about Spurs so if anyone could give me any kind of Clue I was trying to find what brand they are if I knew what spot to look for it that would help some you know if you stare at something long enough you'll start seeing all sorts of stuff

"old west era" is about what you will find out.

Spurs are a hard time I.D. nearly impossible to pinpoint.

If they are stamped do they have a common place on the spur of that usually has the stamp these are a little crusty I certainly don't jingle jangle jingle anymore

If it has a makers mark then you will have a better chance at an I.D.

As far a "place" to look for a marking... on inside is common.

And where on the spur would that Maker's Mark be

I tease my fiance all the time that she needs a Charlotte, NC phone because the one she has doesn't understand her accent
It's funny to see someone else point that out!

Oh yeah it's all funny until you send your mom a message that includes the word that starts with a p and describes male anatomy

Where did you find it? What area of the country?

Hi Bates... I have a few antique spurs and if I can't find any marks there are some databases online that might help you.

There's lots of spurs that were made by a local blacksmith and no markings.

Have you tried putting it on a boot to see how large it is... like for a big footed man or smaller person?

Good Luck!

Kace

That is still funny. I know my mom would have laughed.

It isn't just phone though...

Years ago I was on a business trip in New England with a colleague from the deep south. She ordered "ahs tay" (ice tea) with her southern drawl. We were served sparkling wine.



I'm still laughing about that one, too.
