Vintage Pair of Bob Blackwood Spurs with Leather Straps, Never Worn
Wonderful western spurs hand made by Bob Blackwood Texas Rodeo Legend. These spurs have never been worn; they are a smaller size young man our women’s size.
If you know cowboys then you know Bob Blackwood, bull rider and bronc rider champion in the 1970s through the 1980s.
These spurs are Blackwood’s Bull Riding Spurs with the twisted shank, custom designed by Blackwood. Blackwood Spurs are made of raw tempered steel, with age they will show light surface rust. The blue hue seen on the metal is from manufacturing the spurs.
The spurs have a 1¼” - 5- point steel rowel, they have a 2” shank and the heal band / yoke has about a 2½” spread. The leather straps are vintage and never used.
History,
The story goes back around 1969 when someone stole Blackwood’s spurs at the rodeo, and soon after he started his own Spurs and Rodeo Equipment Company. The BB Brand would become the standard for competitors and the twisted shank bull spur, that Blackwood developed was one of a very few changes to the bull spur since cowboys started riding bulls.
Circa, 1970s
Marked, BB
Overall condition is very good for age.
