I made some cuffs with a stamp that I have some time ago, pics are in my gallery if you would want to take a look. I cought some flack from one of our fellow leather workers for posting them.

Members WyomingSlick Posted March 26, 2011 Members Report Posted March 26, 2011 Thanks for posting the pics of the old saddles. I am glad you posted them in hi-res as I saved them to one of my files. Still no answer on the jaw-spur................jawur ???? Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !
hidepounder Posted March 26, 2011 Report Posted March 26, 2011 Here is a couple of scans from the 1931 Porter catalog. The top of all the pages in the catalog are decorated with the "whirling log" motif. I also scanned a page of belts which featured a riding belt which is decorated with spots done in the "whirling log" pattern. One of these catalogs has a pair of chaps with the "whirling log" pattern done with spots, but I couldn't find it. As I mentioned before, this was a very "cowboy" symbol. As a side note....the saddle shown is an excellent example of old Porter tooling. Also the photo in the corner is a picture of a guy bull dogging at the Prescott Frontier Days, which in itself is not unusual...but look at the size of that steer!!!! Bobby Quote
Members WyomingSlick Posted March 28, 2011 Members Report Posted March 28, 2011 ...but look at the size of that steer!!!! Grandpa always said, " It's not the size of the man in the fight - it's the size of the fight in the man" ........ so maybe that is just a small dogger.

Members manji Posted April 4, 2011 Members Report Posted April 4, 2011 That is one of the strangest things I have ever seen on this site. :rolleyes2: Please explain exactly just what the heck that is in the first picture. That would be a human mandible spur. Isn't that what everyone uses?? Quote My link

Members Reaper Posted June 14, 2011 Members Report Posted June 14, 2011 The swastika (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form. Earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity. It remains widely used in Indian Religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Quote No sir, he fell into that bullet
