Iron oxbow stirrups with silver overlay. Good condition with minor age cracking and issues at stress points, replaced sheepskin, circa 1910-20.

All property will be sold ”as is where is” and neither the Auction House nor Consignor make any express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the properties or the correctness of the advertisement, catalog, or any other medium used to announce this sale or any other description of the physical condition, quality, importance, size or authenticity of the property offered. Nothing in the advertisements, catalogs, or the other publications or presentations concerning this sale or the property offered is to be taken as an affirmation of fact. All descriptions of the property are for purposes of identifications only. 4. LIMITED GUARANTEE: The Auction House makes a consistent effort to correctly describe property to be sold. Catalog descriptions carry a limited guarantee to protect you against major discrepancies that would have a considerable effect upon value of the item. This limited guarantee covers authenticity against fakes, undisclosed reproductions and major restoration or repair not disclosed. If the discrepancy is less than major, no adjustment or refund will be made. We guarantee only what is in print in the catalog and what is announced from the block at the time of the sale. Nothing discussed over the telephone or in person prior to the auction shall be construed as part of the guarantee. Since opinions can differ, particularly in the matter of condition, the Auction House will be the sole judge in the matter of refunds. The very best thing a client can do is to view the lots in person or have an agent examine lots on their behalf. This is not an approval sale.
