Included in this lot are a pair of mounted boot spurs, vintage P.M. Kelly Texas style scrolled design stainless steel hand-tooled leather strap spurs. The manufacture and design of these spurs is something that the Kelly Brothers are famous for in the American west. Pascal Moreland Kelly was the maker of one of the most famous sets of cowboy spurs. After Kelly auctioned of his first ever pair of cowboy spurs in Beaver County in 1903, they have been highly sought after items. He was able to make 2 pairs of spurs in a day and sell them for $4 a pair which was four times the wage of a local cowhand. After some time traveling Pascal set up business with his 2 brothers and forged the Kelly Brothers company. Often designing custom made spurs and naming them after local rodeo stars or cowboys, patterns such as Booger Red and Toots Mansfield were made. In 1965 the Kelly Brothers company was sold to Jim Renalde. Renalde Spurs, encompassing the Crockett and Kelly spurs companies, are very collectible items. Each spur has twenty (20) intact rowels, shank outsides are scrolled design as are both the buttons and the snap (one snap is missing) with patina. The hand-tooled leather straps have a floral motif, the leather is thick and in good condition. Overall condition is quite good. Appear to be women's or children's sized.
