Featured in this lot is a pair of August Buermann star drop shank spurs circa 1890 to 1910. The spurs are wonderfully and professionally crafted with a ring textured outside frame and the "Peanut Pattern" to the spur strap button part of the frames. The rowels show ten tine spur rowel and includes a side A and side B markings as follows: "Buermann Star Mark" - Pat'd (side B). August Buermann immigrated to the US from Germany in 1864. After fighting in the Civil War, Buermann returned to New Jersey, where he went to work at Alexander Barclay’s company. Buermann bought out Barclay and, over the next 60 years, Buermann’s company produced the most complete catalog of bits and spurs of any company in the US, producing as many as 441 spur styles and 496 bit patterns. Many of these styles were original designs that were patented. The condition of this pair of Buermann spurs is well preserved with some oxidation adorning the spurs consistent with age but otherwise shows a well preserved condition. The measurements of this pair of spurs are 5 3/4" x 3 3/4" x 2". The collective weight of this pair of spurs is 10oz.*
