Included in this lot is a set of early August Buermann "OK" spurs. The spurs are both marked on the outside of the yolk with "PAT'D" and a stamped star. They are missing the hallmark for North in Judd which dates these spurs to before the merger in 1926. The spurs have a mild multi-point star rowel. August Buermann was born in Germany in 1842 but later travelled to the US after taking his apprenticeship in lock smithing. After joining the army as a substitute at the age of 22 he began making spurs for the civilian and military. The spurs are in good condition for the age. Both spurs measure 5" x 4".
