Description: This is very unique and highly collectible pair of spurs with one marked K&C and the other, Kelly Bros. For years there has been much speculation about K&C spurs and who made them and when. This pair help to clear up some of the mystery suggesting they were made by the Kelly Brothers sometime between 1919 and 1939. These spurs are definitely a pair and not two similar singles, likely they got mixed up when on the work bench or perhaps the guy making them accidentally picked up the wrong stamp when hallmarking one of them. Who knows, but either way, it proves that Kelly Bros. and K&C were made in the same shop. This helps back up the theory that K&C actually stood for Kelly and Company.
This is a real nice old pair of single mounted spurs and the historical provenance they provide helps solve some of the mystery surrounding the K&C mark. They also come with nice leather spur straps with US conchos.

Remember, we offer free returns in the US (just in case you are not satisfied in any way), so what have you got to lose? We stand behind what we sell and want you to be happy!

Maker: One spur is marked K&C and the other is marked Kelly Bros.

Approx. Age: 1919 to 1939.

Size: Heel opening is 3". Heel bands are 1" wide. Shanks are 3-7/8" long including the rowels.

Condition: Good for their age. Normal wear and minor imperfections expected on used and vintage items. As a matter of full disclosure, this pair came in completely covered with silver paint like somebody tried to make them look nickeled. So we sent them off to be professionally restored back to what they should look like.

Please look closely at the pictures as they are an important part of our description.
