Post Civil War Military Style Spur
This small to medium size non-excavated military style brass spur is in
excellent condition and has a nicely aged bronze patina. Its rowel is
present but does not move. According to Howard Crouch, author of "Historic American Spurs",
these spurs first appear pictured in the "Ordnance Memoranda No. 29" of 1885.
A similar example can be found in Crouch's book on page 69, item MS3.
On the example offered there appears to be the number "11" stamped on the
inside of one of the arms near the strap plate, which, according to Crouch,
may be an issue number of some type. This is an very nice example and will make an excellent addition to any
1800's spur collection. Approximate width is 2 7/8 inches and length is 4
3/8 inches.

Patent Box Spurs with Boxes
This non-excavated pair of patent box spurs are in excellent condition.
What sets this pair apart from other available examples is the fact that the
boxes are present. According to Howard R. Crouch's book "Historic
American Spurs", the box was actually mounted into a cavity in the rear of
the boot. Inside the box was a spring loaded latch that the spur would
slide and lock into. This would eliminate the need for the leather
straps and buckles. These spurs date to the Civil War and afterwards.
An illustration of these spurs can be found in the 1864 Schuyler, Hartley
and Graham catalog. The spur itself measures 2 1/4 (width at its
widest point) x 3 3/8 inches in length.
SOLD
