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.

c1900 アンティーク スター マーク ビューアマン ヘラクレス ブロンズ カリフォルニア スパーズ ペア。これらは、アウグスト ビューアマンによって発明された「ヘラクレス ブロンズ」特別合金で作られています。これらのスパーズは、購入される前に製造されたビューアマン スターの特徴があり、1914 年以前のものです。 1914 年に North & Judd によって製造されました。長さ 5 インチ x かかとの内幅 3 インチ。損傷はありませんでした。ビューアマン スパーズは、カウボーイ スパーズの歴史の中で最も有名なメーカーの 1 つによる、最も有名で人気のあるデザインの 1 つです。 .彼は、さまざまなタイプの拍車を作成するというニーズを満たし、ブランド、ロゴ、デザインの特許を積極的に取得したため、優れたビジネスマンでもあると考えられます。どのようなタイプやスタイルが必要とされても、ビューアマンは最初の人物でした。 歴史。アウグスト ビューアマンは 1842 年にドイツで生まれましたが、鍵鍛冶の見習いをした後、後に米国に渡りました。軍隊に入隊した後、 22 歳で補欠として、彼は民間および軍用の拍車を作り始め、彼のデザインと作品を飾る今や悪名高いスターブランドを作り上げました。同社は、20 世紀に入るまでに 100 人を超える従業員を抱えるまでに成長しました。1900 年代初頭までに、軍人の大多数がオーガスト ヒール 拍車を着用し、陸軍将校もヒール チェーンを着用する権利があり、これらはすべて個人で購入したものでした。ビューアマンオーガストには、1896 年に退職した後を引き継いで会社経営を引き継いだ息子のオーガスト ジュニアもいました。オーガスト ジュニアも父親と同様に優れたビジネスマンでしたが、1914 年にビューアマンの名前とデザインはノースによって購入されました。そして、大手ハードウェア会社である Judd 社。悪名高きビューアマン ブーツ拍車のスターブランドは廃止され、ノースとジャッドのアンカー マークに置き換えられました。オーガスト ジュニアはその後引退しました。ただし、ビューアマンの名前にも（わずかな）論争がないわけではありません。他の有名なメーカーが、人気のある新しいスタイルの拍車を販売して、確立されたビジネスに進出し始めると、ビューアマンはこれらのデザインをそのままコピーしたとして非難されました。彼は、私的使用のために他社のカタログの画像をコピーしたとして告発されるまでになりました。当時、同社は顧客からますます離れ、事業を拡大し、近代化を進めているように見えました。速い速度。 McChesney や Crockett などの他の企業は顧客に近づき、Buermann は追い上げを図っていました。材料。他の多くの拍車メーカーと同様に、これらの拍車の大部分は無垢の真鍮で作られています。または鉄。しかし、ビューアマンは、「スター スチール シルバー」と「ヘラクレス ブロンズ」として知られる 2 種類の金属も発明して使用しました。これらの金属が使用された場合、金属の名前も各製品に刻印されました。実際、ジェリフアベニューにある彼の近代的な工場で製造されていた製品は非常に優れていたため、彼はいくつかの優秀賞を受賞することができました。フィラデルフィア 100 周年委員会は、さまざまなカテゴリーのさまざまな製品にいくつかの賞を授与し、スター ブランドは 1904 年のセントルイス フェアでも賞を受賞しました。tw154

In<br>1939, Porfirio Salinas began working with Dewey Bradford (1896-1985), one of the<br>great characters of Texas art. Bradford was a second-generation dealer whose<br>family operated the Bradford Paint Company in Austin, where they sold art<br>supplies, framed artwork, restored paintings and hung artists work.

The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in exchange for his life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio Grande.

c1850 Texian Campaigne 10.5" Purple Transferware Staffordshire James Beech Historical Texas Battle Scenes Plate made with Texas Revolution Scenes in the 1840's or 50's. No chips or restorations. It does have overall crazing and some stains, it also has a very tight hairline on the upper right that extends almost to the footrim, it is stable and can't be seen from the front without very close examination. The "Texian Campaigne" transferware pattern was introduced about 1837; although made in Staffordshire, it was produced to appeal to Americans. The pattern was designed to commemorate the 1835-1836 revolution fought against Mexico by Texans for their independence (the word 'Texian' is the British form for Texas.) The Texas Revolution (October 2, 1835 – April 21, 1836) was a rebellion of colonists from the United States and Tejanos (Texas Mexicans) in putting up armed resistance to the centralist government of Mexico. While the uprising was part of a larger one, the Mexican Federalist War, that included other provinces opposed to the regime of President Antonio López de Santa Anna, the Mexican government believed the United States had instigated the Texas insurrection with the goal of annexation. The Mexican Congress passed the Tornel Decree, declaring that any foreigners against Mexican troops "will be deemed pirates and dealt with as such, being citizens of no nation presently at war with the Republic and under no recognized flag". Only the province of Texas succeeded in breaking with Mexico, establishing the Republic of Texas, and eventually being annexed by the United States. The revolution began in October 1835, after a decade of political and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the increasingly large population of American settlers in Texas. The Mexican government had become increasingly centralized and the rights of its citizens had become increasingly curtailed, particularly regarding immigration from the United States. Colonists and Tejanos disagreed on whether the ultimate goal was independence or a return to the Mexican Constitution of 1824. While delegates at the Consultation (provisional government) debated the war's motives, Texians and a flood of volunteers from the United States defeated the small garrisons of Mexican soldiers by mid-December 1835. The Consultation declined to declare independence and installed an interim government, whose in led to political paralysis and a dearth of effective governance in Texas. An ill-conceived proposal to invade Matamoros siphoned much-needed volunteers and provisions from the fledgling Texian Army. In March 1836, a second political convention declared independence and appointed leadership for the new Republic of Texas. Determined to avenge Mexico's honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally retake Texas. His Army of Operations entered Texas in mid-February 1836 and found the Texians completely unprepared. Mexican General José de Urrea led a contingent of troops on the Goliad Campaign up the Texas coast, defeating all Texian troops in his path and executing most of those who surrendered. Santa Anna led a larger force to San Antonio de Béxar (or Béxar), where his troops defeated the Texian garrison in the Battle of the Alamo, killing almost all of the defenders. A newly created Texian army under the command of Sam Houston was constantly on the move, while terrified civilians fled with the army, in a melee known as the Runaway Scrape. On March 31, Houston paused his men at Groce's Landing on the Brazos River, and for the next two weeks, the Texians received rigorous military training. Becoming complacent and underestimating the strength of his foes, Santa Anna further subdivided his troops. On April 21, Houston's army staged a surprise assault on Santa Anna and his vanguard force at the Battle of San Jacinto. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed many who tried to surrender. Santa Anna was taken hostage; in exchange for his life, he ordered the Mexican army to retreat south of the Rio Grande. Mexico refused to recognize the Republic of Texas, and intermittent conflicts between the two countries continued into the 1840s.

Vintage North and Judd Spurs. Only one with leather, no issues. Be in 1832 as the North Company in New Britain, Connecticut, which made “saddlery hardware” and “tried to satisfy the needs of the rider”. The business grew quickly and was a supplier to the U.S. army during the Civil War and again during the Spanish-American war and even the first World War. North and Judd produced a wide range of metal buckles, rings, bits, hooks, chains, and other related goods besides the bits and spurs for which we know them. Their trademark was of an anchor usually stamped near the button, but sometimes on top or below the shank. North and Judd bought out the Buermann company in 1926 and continued to use the Buermann name and it was slowly phased out. tw270

Arthur Bishop Jeffreys (American/Texas, 1892-1970) large Texas landscape painting. 22" x 29" canvas 28" x 35" framed. No damage or notable issues. Nice old painting from the second quarter of the 20th century. Arthur Bishop Jeffreys, 1892-1970, was born in Hillsboro, Texas. He had a mixed career as a painter and newspaper journalist. Starting late to paint in 1923, when in his early thirties, he was employed, 1942 through 1969, by one newspaper, which changed its name three times: the Tyler Morning Telegraph, Tyler Courier-Times, and Courier-Times-Telegraph. He had moved to Tyler, Texas from Dallas in 1936, and for the newspaper worked primarily as a proofreader. However, using the name Arthur Bishop, he also wrote feature articles and shorter columns. As a young man, his destiny lay elsewhere, he was employed by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway Company, apparently in Dallas, where he worked until 1918 as a road master's clerk, secretary to the chief engineer, and secretary to the general manager. Though he briefly studied in New York with Frederick Jarvis, Jeffreys was essentially self-taught. He died in Tyler, and is buried there.He was a member of the Art Students League, New York City; Chicago Art League, Illinois; Dallas Art Association; and Society of Independent Artists. His work is in the collections of the Hilton Hotel, Waco; and La Grange College, Georgia. His landscapes appeared in magazines including Holland's and Literary Digest in 1926. His 1927 painting of Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis, autographed by the flyer, sold for $2,000 at an auction in New York City. Jeffrreys was able to make money from his similarly autographed paintings of World War I ace fighter pilot Eddie Rickenbacker, and Amelia Earhart, the first woman aviator to cross the Atlantic. Shows with Jeffreys work include the Exhibition of Texas Artists, Nashville Museum of Art, Tennessee (1927 prize); and Painters of Texas 1900-1950, Museums of Abilene (1989).
