Featured in this lot is this pair of large store window display spurs, circa early 1900's. The spurs are attributed to August Buermann by the previous collector due to the similarities with his five point star spur line. The Buermann Company was one of the first to mass-produce spurs, although he always maintained a line of hand-forged spurs of high quality. His company produced spurs of all types and styles from Mexican, California, Texas, and even older European and military styles; the company is best known for the O.K. style spur, which was an affordable and durable design popular in the late 1800s. The spurs show a large design and feature five point stars to the outside frame of the spurs; the rowels are constructed from nickel and feature the same design as the decoration. The condition of these store display spurs is good, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements store display spurs are 6 1/4" x 6 1/4" x 15 1/2".
