Manufactured during the early 20th Century by Rex Schnitger of Gilette, Wyoming, who worked for the famous Edward H. Bohlin in Hollywood in the 1930s. They are unmarked, as is typical of Schnitger's work, and display many of his trademark features, such as the single piece split heel construction, the wide pointed star engraved raised dome buttons, and Cheyenne style silver inlays and engraving on the heel bands. They feature 16-toothed rowels, drop shanks with chap guards, engraved silver inlays throughout, and split heel bands with domed silver buttons. The straps are period basket weave pattern stamped leather marked "TEX.TAN. 1788D/illegible". Provenance: formerly Mike Worley Collection and Bruce Bartlett. Heel band width: 1/2" Shanks: 2 1/4" Rowel diameter: 1 3/4" Heel opening: 3"

Very fine overall, showing 75% smooth brown patina with some areas of the interior of the heel bands being worn bright. There are some scattered minor dings consistent with use, and the engraving is crisp. The leather straps show some minor wear, moderate corrosion on the buckles, and crisp stamping overall.
