Description
Available here for your consideration are three antique Spanish and Mexican bits. The history of bits and spurs in North America begins with the Spanish who first came to the new world in the 1500s, bringing horses and livestock with them. The Spanish colonial style is the predecessor of the Californian and Mexican styles we know today. One bit has fret designs on the cheek pieces and the conchos look like they are Mexican Pesos. Another bit has decorative applique and some copper inlay on the mouthpiece. These bits will make a great addition to a tack room or other Western collection. Bid now!
