Available here for your consideration are three pair of vintage Mexican spurs. All three pair are single mounted with engraved overlay designs. One pair has chains and jingle bobs, and another pair has leather straps. These spurs have 6, 10 and 12 point rowels. These spurs appear to be Mexican style. The history of bits and spurs in North America begins with the Spanish who first came to the new world in the 1500s, bringing horses and livestock with them. The Spanish colonial style is the predecessor of the Californian and Mexican styles we know today. These spurs are fine examples of that heritage. Make your bid today!
