Old Spur Found!

[DizzyDigger]

Man those were some aggressive spurs meant for some rank stock.
In my historical reading, I found that many times good horses were in short supply.

Agreed...they wore some nasty rowels on spurs back then.
As for the rank horses, I'd be rank too if some idiot cowpoke
dug those things into my flanks..

Did more checking. Using the pic that AARC displayed, I can say...... it is a double button August Buermann Eureka cowboy spur. Thanks for the help, AARC/guys. ╦╦C

Correct... the "Tin Belly".

Here is a for you to compare... here is a Tin belly... https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-buermann-model-eureka-tin-494294801

good eye.

Tnx. I thought I was picking up a piece of fence hardware... to be thrown into a garbage bag with the dog doodoo. It turned into a keeper! A treasure not looked for is a treasure indeed! ╦╦C
