Brass Bull

[mojjax]

Yup , it's a brass bull , but I was wondering why there is a number 58 on it's side ? (no other markings)

It's 6.5 inches long , marble base . Any info is greatly appreciated !

how about.....5 add 8 = 13, 13 is an unlucky number and he is an unlucky bull

Souviener from Spain or Mexico... maybe from a corner gift shop. Common touristy thing is to hit a bull fight while in country.

Just a guess.

hmmm could it be 1958?? or a brand where the bull was?

 

[briankb70]

As said it was probably the brand on the bull(used to identify ones cattle as his own and is registered to him)Often numbers are painted on the bulls in the bullfights I seen in Spain.Maybe #58 was some famous bull and it was a famous fight?

Or a 58% drop in the stock market.....
Sorry no clue here

Exactly. It may had been Zalamero or Murcielago. Those 2 bulls were spared and put out to pasture for breeding. Those two are the only ones that come to mind for comparison. They are called INDULTOS (spared/pardon)

Had an uncle who owned part of a Carta Blanca beer bottling company which sponsored the bullfighting art.

Bully for you, Tony! Very interesting info. It's always great to see you on the boards.

(Well, except when you're "correcting" my ID's! )
