Authentic antique 1890s hand-forged cattle branding iron featuring an unusual cowboy boot-style brand.
Measuring approximately 16 inches long, this early ranching tool has a wonderfully primitive hand-forged construction with visible irregularities and a deep, naturally aged surface patina.
The distinctive boot-shaped branding end gives this piece considerably more visual character than a typical letter or number brand. An excellent piece of genuine Western Americana for a serious ranching, cowboy, cattle, primitive tool or Old West collection.
It would also make a fantastic display piece in a ranch house, Western collection, cabin, restaurant, bar or Texas-themed décor.
