the svastika was used as a symbol of luck . the wikipedia entry has a photo of a piece of greek pottery that is from 780 b.c. that has that on it.

Here is a scan of a page from a R T Frazier catalog that I have from the 1920s. 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. I hope he has been following this thread.

Sorry about not changing the picture size, Ididn't notice until after I posted it.

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 ????

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 !

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!!!!

:cowboy: 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.

That is one of the strangest things I have ever seen on this site. :rolleyes2: :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??

There is currently a set of four stamps including a version of that one going on ebay here: 4 Stamping Tools

They are from a seller in Scotland and are currently £ 15 for the four with almost three days left.

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.

No sir, he fell into that bullet
