Description:

Manufactured during the late 19th to early 20th Century by J.R. McChesney, who is known as the "Grandaddy of the Texas style spur". The upturned heel bands are double mounted with engraved silver and copper and feature the "gal-leg" shanks with silver slippers and garters and copper socks associated with McChesney work, which are mounted with 5-pointed star rowels. They are fitted with unmarked period floral stamped leather straps. Heel band width: 1/2" Shanks: 2 1/4" Rowel diameter: 1 1/4" Heel opening: 3 1/4".

Rating Definition:

Fine, showing mostly a smooth brown patina with some bright edge wear and minimal age darkening of the silver and copper mountings. There are some minimal handling marks that, along with the wear, are consistent with use. The leather is fine with some scattered mild surface flaking and edge wear.
