A spectacular pair of one of the rarest Kelly Bros. patterns; Kelly Bros No. 90 spurs. The 1 3/8” button covers and shanks are stamped with initials “WEB”. The iron bands are 5/8” with a 1 5/8” silver concho at the swell. 2 ¼” shanks with opposing crescent moons. 20-point, 2 ½” rowels. Marked “KELLY / BROS”. They show signs of use with a few dents and some wear along the edges. These are sought-after in any condition, and this pair are in wonderful shape.
P.M. Kelly was recognized as one of the most talented craftsmen of all the Texas makers. These spurs were awfully expensive in their day.
Provenance: From the Estate of Roger Wilmot.
