Impulse buy. I’ve seen a lot of these silver boots in the form of pins, tie clasps/bars and brooches but never one quite like this. Most are cast or flat stamped pieces. I’ve seen a few with turquoise inlays on the shaft or a small snake eye piece as an inlay at the rowel. Most are fairly crude that I’ve seen but this one caught my attention because it had been hammered to a three dimensional shape, the overlay work with the spur strap and when the listing said the rowel “spins”, I hit the BIN. If anyone would wonder why I would make such a buy, well........

Navajo Arts and Crafts Guild buckle worn last week.
I really like the shadow box setting of that buckle. It also looks as if it could double as a boat anchor. Great piece.

Nice! I'm guessing "She" is letting you borrow it from time to time.
I like that!

Thanks Greg. It has good weight but doesn't pull my pants down. I think of it as a solar system motif which works well now that Pluto is out of the picture.
That's a really nice Hopi overlay cuff... love it. I had to look up Lawrence Saufkie's mark but I don't see that he used his initials.

Thanks, Bob. I’ll have to re-read the paperwork but I think I’ve been granted temporary custody. Glad you like the slide.
Thanks, Alan. I appreciate you taking a look. I’ll keep at it.

Thanks, Cuz. You know it.
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
Nice! Pretty sure that one is not adjustable.
Thank you, Bob. No, you couldn’t squeeze this one together between your knees or by driving over it. Before deciding to pull the trigger I did a lot of measuring and re-measuring of my wrist along with making sure the cuff’s specs were accurate.

Wow. What's the weight on that puppy?
192 grams, Alan and it wears comfortably, so long as I don’t bump into anything fragile with it like HER elbow I whacked with it the other day.
For those of you looking for something heavier, the Spirit of Santa Fe is currently offering this Marc Antia piece for sale. It weighs 257 grams.
