Mabel Yorba’s Personal late 1920s Edward H Bohlin Spurs
Exact pair of spurs (not just the style) pictured in both the 1930 and 1937 Bohlin catalog as Pattern No 422, this double-mounted exquisitely engraved, silver overlaid late 1920s ladies iron spurs with the 1 1/2” - 20 point rowels enhanced with double scalloped silver washers, were made for Mabel Yorba of the illustrious Yorba family. They feature her initials in raised gold letters on the heelband and have solid nickel heel chains. The two-piece floral carved Bohlin straps have 1 1/2” scalloped conchos with a raised gold horsehead. The three-piece buckle sets appear to be handmade – possibly by Bohlin himself. Humbly described in the Bohlin catalogs as the most attractive spur on the market. Though unmarked because of their very early pre-1930s date, the catalog picture is sufficient evidence to satisfy any skeptic as to their Bohlin origin and they are, arguably, the earliest documentable pair of Bohlin cowgirl/ladies spurs extant
