Antique August Buermann Engraved longhorn spurs Star steel silver
Antique August Buermann Engraved longhorn spurs Star steel silver. Both with Star Steel silver mark, non magnetic.Buermann Spurs are one of the most famous and sought after designs from one of the most famous makers in Cowboy Spur history. He can be considered to be a good businessman too, as he fulfilled the need of creating many different types of spurs and also aggressively patenting his brands/logos and designs. What ever type or style was needed, Buermann was the first to step up and create them.History.August Buermann was born in Germany in 1842 but later traveled to the US after taking his apprenticeship in lock smithing. After joining the army as a substitute at the age of 22 he began making spurs for the civilian and military. Buermann fashioned the now infamous StarBrand that adorn his designs and creations. The company had grown to have over 100 employees before the turn of the century. By the early 1900s, the majority of military men were wearing Augusts heel spurs and army officers were also entitled to wear heel chains and were all privately purchased from Buermann. August also had a son, August Jr, who succeeded him in running the company when he retired in 1896. August Jr was also a good businessman like his father but, in 1914 the Buermann name and design was purchased by North and Judd, a large established hardware company. The infamous StarBrand of the Buermann boot spur was no more and was replaced by the North and Judd anchor mark. August Jr then retired. The Buermann name is not without some (slight) controversy too though. Once the other well known manufacturers started to gain in-roads on the established business, selling new styles of spurs that were popular, Buermann was accused of making straight copies of these designs. Even to the point where he was accused of taking copies of the images from other companies catalogs for his own use. At that time, the company was seen to be becoming more and more removed from it's customer, branching out and modernizing at a fast rate. Other companies such as McChesney or Crockett were closer to their customers and Buermann was playing catch-up.Materials.Like many other spur makers, the majority of these spurs are made from solid brass or iron. However, Buermann also invented 2 types of metal for use too, known as "Star Steel Silver" and "Hercules Bronze". Where these metals were used, the metal name was also stamped onto each piece. In fact, so good were the products that were being made in his modern factory in Jelliff Avenue, that he was able to win some awards of excellence. The Centenial Commission of Philadelphia bestowed several awards for different products in several categories and the Star Brand also won awards at the St Louis Fair in 1904.

Antique Chinese Bronze Archaistic Mirror
Antique Chinese Bronze Archaistic Mirror. 3.75" wide, solid bronze, from a very<br>nice collection of Chinese Antiques. Appears Excavated, collected in the third<br>quarter of the 20th century. I'm unsure of exact age.<br><br>The Chinese magic mirror (simplified Chinese: 透光镜; traditional Chinese: 透光鏡;<br>pinyin: tòu guāng jìng) traces back to at least the 5th century, although their<br>existence during the Han dynasty (206 BC – 24 AD) has been claimed. The mirrors<br>were made out of solid bronze. The front was polished and could be used as a<br>mirror, while the back has a design cast in the bronze, or other decoration.<br>When sunlight or other bright light shines onto the mirror, the mirror appears<br>to become transparent. If that light is reflected from the mirror onto a wall,<br>the pattern on the back of the mirror is then projected onto the wall.<br><br><br>The back of the same mirror<br>Bronze mirrors were the standard in many Eurasian cultures, for example ancient<br>Rome, but most lacked this characteristic, as did most Chinese bronze mirrors.<br><br>Robert Temple describes their construction: "The basic mirror shape, with the<br>design on the back, was cast flat, and the convexity of the surface produced<br>afterwards by elaborate scraping and scratching. The surface was then polished<br>to become shiny. The stresses set up by these processes caused the thinner parts<br>of the surface to bulge outwards and become more convex than the thicker<br>portions. Finally, a mercury amalgam was laid over the surface; this created<br>further stresses and preferential buckling. The result was that imperfections of<br>the mirror surface matched the patterns on the back, although they were too<br>minute to be seen by the eye. But when the mirror reflected bright sunlight<br>against a wall, with the resultant magnification of the whole image, the effect<br>was to reproduce the patterns as if they were passing through the solid bronze<br>by way of light beams."<br><br>History<br>China<br>In about 800 AD, during the Tang dynasty (618–907), a book entitled Record of<br>Ancient Mirrors described the method of crafting solid bronze mirrors with<br>decorations, written characters, or patterns on the reverse side that could cast<br>these in a reflection on a nearby surface as light struck the front, polished<br>side of the mirror; due to this seemingly transparent effect, they were called<br>"light-penetration mirrors" by the Chinese.<br><br>This Tang era book was lost over the centuries, but magic mirrors were described<br>in the Dream Pool Essays by Shen Kuo (1031–1095), who owned three of them as a<br>family heirloom. Perplexed as to how solid metal could be transparent, Shen<br>guessed that some sort of quenching technique was used to produce tiny wrinkles<br>on the face of the mirror too small to be observed by the eye. Although his<br>explanation of different cooling rates was incorrect, he was right to suggest<br>the surface contained minute variations which the eye could not detect; these<br>mirrors also had no transparent quality at all, as discovered by the British<br>scientist William Bragg in 1932 (after an entire century of their confounding<br>Western scientists). Bragg noted that "Only the magnifying effect of reflection<br>makes them [the designs] plain".<br><br>Japan<br>As the manufacture of mirrors in China increased, it expanded to Korea and<br>Japan. In fact, Emperor Cao Rui and the Wei Kingdom of China gave numerous<br>bronze mirrors (known as Shinju-kyo in Japan) to Queen Himiko of Wa (Japan),<br>where they were received as rare and mysterious objects. They were described as<br>"sources of honesty" as they were said to reflect all good and evil without<br>error. That is why Japan considers a sacred mirror called Yata-no-Kagami to be<br>one of the three great imperial treasures.<br><br>Today, Yamamoto Akihisa is said to be the last manufacturer of magic mirrors in<br>Japan. The Kyoto Journal [6] interviewed the craftsman and he explained a small<br>portion of the technique, that he learned from his father.
