ANTIQUE KANGAROO A&F ENGLAND SOLID NICKEL HORSE VICTORIAN BUXTON DRIVING BIT
-- THIS HORSE BIT IS CALLED A BUXTON. IT IS A DRIVING BIT AND USUALLY IS USED FOR COACHING HORSES AND ALSO SHOWING HITCHES OF DRAFT HORSES. THE BAR ON THE BOTTOM IS SO THE SHANK OF THE BIT WOULD NOT GET CAUGHT ON A PART OF THE HARNESS.
-- THIS BRIDLE BIT HAS TWO SOLID SHANKS OF WHICH ONE IS RIBBED / TWISTED WHICH IS RARE AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ANYWHERE
-- IT STILL IS 100% FUNCTIONAL IF IT WAS USED WHICH SHOWS WHAT AMAZING SHAPE IT'S IN. ALL OF THE CHAINS ARE PROPER AND CONNECTED INCLUDING THE CLASPS ON EACH SIDE FOR THE CHAIN LINK
-- THERE IS A NATURAL PATINA ON THE BIT
