Stamped Oscar Crockett spurs.
These are very rare double mounted silver Oscar Crockett stamped spurs, possibly custom ordered. It is estimated to be circa 1930's or1940's. There are 9 points on the rowls with an arrow on one side and a diamond on the other. In excellent shape these are very highly collectable spurs. These "Texas" type spurs rarely have a chap guard or large rowels and tend to be more of a utilitarian (being or meant to be useful rather than beautiful) style of spur.

Some very special old Masters' names to watch for are: G.S. Garcia, Les Garcia, Mike Morales, August Buermann, J.R. McChesney, Oscar Crockett, P.M. Kelly, J.O.Bass, The Boones. This is, of course, only a partial listing of the "greats, " but it may get a collector started. Names or marks of the Masters were generally placed inside the heel bands on spurs, but were also placed in various other inconspicuous places, sometimes on the top of the spur shanks, sometimes under a spur button. Quite often the Master neglected to place a identifying mark or his name in them at all. When this is encountered, one must identify by style and "finish" alone. Each one of the old makers had a particular "signature" design or trait, which was even without his conscious knowledge sometimes, built into his work. As a person becomes adept at reading these marks of style, age, design etc., one also becomes educated as to value.
