That's pretty awesome the old guy wouldn't sell the spurs. I'm glad his wife kept them as well. Do you have pictures of them? I'm going to venture out on a limb and assume that those spurs were made by the old man in Elko, NV. His kids and grandkids carried the company into present time (I think), but the old man's spurs carry the highest prices. As I understand, he learned the craft in Old Mexico and then started making spurs out of his home for a number of years before he got a shop up and running. I just love History, I think that makes me a nerd in some circles. Thank goodness I have a couple of folks tricked into thinking I'm cool  Afro

Mr Ronnie, I would love to see pics of your grandfather's spurs. Any idea when they were made?

Cheers!

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.
