Vintage Crockett Spurs With Leather StrapsVintage crockett spurs are hihgly collectible. I do not know the exact age of these beauties. They are very rusted, pitted adn worn but you can still make out the remains of the crockett trademark stamp on each spur near the strap button. The letters cro are visible on one spur and ockett no the other. It appears that someone drilled holes in both spurs further obscuring the trademarks. The spurs have copper overlays. One of the strap buttons is very bent.
