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

Congratualtions on the nice old relic!

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.

My mom did not laugh

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

Central Georgia

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!

Thanks for the info..
