Metal riding spurs with leather straps
History
These riding spurs appear to be from the early to mid-20th century, likely used by cavalry soldiers or civilian riders. The metal construction with ball ends (known as rowels) and leather straps with metal buckles represent the traditional design used for controlling horses during riding. Riding spurs have been essential equestrian equipment for centuries, valued by collectors of military memorabilia, Western Americana, and equestrian equipment. These particular spurs would appeal to collectors interested in vintage riding equipment, military history enthusiasts, or decorators seeking authentic Western or military-themed decor for their historical significance and craftsmanship.
