The Buermann Company was acquired by North & Judd of Connecticut in 1926, who continued to manufacture and market many of August Buermann's spur designs under the Star Brand well into the 1950s. The star and "FORGED STEEL" marked upturned heel bands have stationary buttons, are double mounted in nickel and engraved in Buermann's No. 1000 "star half moon" pattern with drop shanks featuring chap guards and toothed rowels. The floral pattern carved leather straps are unmarked. Provenance: Mark Allen Collection and Bruce Bartlett. Heel band width: 7/8" Shanks: 2 1/2" Rowel diameter: 1 3/4" Heel opening: 3".

Very fine overall, showing mostly bright finish mottled with a smooth brown patina which is mostly concentrated inside the heel bands and some minor handling marks and wear. The leather is very fine with some minor wear and crisp carving.
