Stopped Rainin Fer a Couple of Hours

tabdog · May 12, 2009

So I decided to go down tha road a few miles
to one of my spots.

I found an area with some old pottery shards,
and some old stuff in tha ground. I have not
hunted this spot very well in tha past.

I only got to hunt a couple of hours before,

But before it got started good I found a little
stuff.

Included in that pile is what looks like a wood
stove inspection door.

And then there's part of a halter. If I said that
right.

Here's part of an old pewter spoon.

I found a couple of buckles.

Look how this one shined up. It seems to be
brass, and the front has a silvery coating.

Can not make out what it says on tha back.

And then last is what seems to be a old button
front.

It was good to get out for a little while.

I enjoyed it.

Thanks fer lOOkin yaw, and

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog

Thanks fer tha info.

I found out that;

It is a Renalde sloid nickle buckel.

In 1951 Renalde became Crockett and Renalde

Bit and Spur Company when James Renalde

purchased Crockett.

This is kind of informative;

When you talk about Cowboy Spurs and the makers
of western bits, buckles, spurs and tack there are 3
famous makers, referred to as “The BIG 3″ that are
most common. Collectors of western memorabilia
know these makers as a testament of quality,
originality and genuine American history.

North and Judd
Renalde
Crockett

The 3 companies all have simple, small groundings in
the manufacturing of spurs and eventually all became
one company under the brand of Crockett Renalde
before the company finally closed in 1979.

There has never been a better trio of hand craftsmen
than the skill and experience behind people such as
Jim Renalde.
So tha belt buckle is probably early 1900's.

Thanks again,
