Vintage Unmarked Sliester USA Sterling Silver Copper Salinas Port Bit # 22 - 03

This bit is in well maintained pre owned condition without any visible damage.  This particular bit is unmarked, but is an older vintage Sliester.  Very few Sliester bits were sold with overlaid Sterling Silver.  There are many bits available with engraved Stainless Steel cheeks which are in high demand, but the Sterling Silver bits were often custom ordered and are exceedingly rare.

Each Sliester Bit is custom made, never mass produced, offering a fine feeling of balance and they are very difficult to find in retail stores.  Sliester Bits feature the “SQUARE PIN.” This keeps the cheek pieces from turning and pinching the horse’s mouth, yet allows all the action required in a loose jawed bit.

This bit is from Sliester's "Original Series" and this line is what started the company and has proven over the past 5 decades to be of great design and craftsmanship. All these bits feature the square pin loose jaw, which eliminates the cheeks from turning, yet allowing the action required in a loose jawed bit. This line is the heaviest bit Sliester offers, weighing in at 19.79 ounces which aids in steadying a horse’s head.  The 8-1/2 inch long cheek is Style #22 and features a 2-1/2 inch purchase.

SLIESTER has been making bits since 1954 and are never mass produced and are a good heavy duty bit that will last you a lifetime.

I will leave feedback after receiving feedback from buyers as confirmation item has been received.
