Large Stainless Crockett Spurs These "huge" Crockett spurs were made for a person called "Horse Trader Ed".  They were presented to him by two friends.  One spur is enscribed from one friend and the other is enscribed from a different friend. The engraver must have got it all wrong since he did all the work upside down!  He also got it wrong as to who was giving them to whom.  He enscribed the spurs as being from "Horse Trader Ed" instead of to him.

They are marked "Crockett" on the bottom edge of the heel band and they also say "stainless" on the edge of the heel band.

Buermann   # 25 spurs These are very early model #25 spurs. They are marked with the star, Pat'd, and Hand Forged Steel marks of Buermann. One rowel is worn more which may be the result of being more rusted around the center of the rowel.  It is also possible that the other spur's rowel was equally worn and had to be replaced at some time, long ago.   They are listed in Buermann's catalog as:

Patent, Bevel Edge,

Taper Band

Two Piece

Buermann Daisy Spurs These are the famous "Daisy" spurs by August Buermann.   They are marked with the star, "Pat'd" and Hand Forged Steel. The outside of the heel bands show a lot of wear and the results of someone's cleaning attempts.   Most of the daisys are worn away.  Over time the patina will return the spurs to their rightful appearance of age.  This is a good investment at a below market price.

These spurs are shown in the book Cowboy Bits and Spurs by Joyce Overton on page 87 and are estimated to be worth $800-$1000.
