Exquisite solid sterling silver rattlesnake bit with ruby eyes inspired by Bohlin Saddlery silversmiths

from $1,495.00

Exquisite one-of-a-kind solid sterling silver rattlesnake bit inspired by circa 1950s rattlesnake conchos by Bohlin Saddlery silversmith Raymond Gurdal. Offered for a limited time in an extremely limited run of two bits this year. Once the two spots have been purchased, there will be no other spots offered for the foreseeable future.

This solid sterling silvered bit is inspired by the beautiful examples of the rarest and finest silverwork to come out of the famous saddlery shops of Los Angeles and Southern California in the 1950s. Each rattlesnake is coiled up in a 5.5" solid sterling silver concho and set with two ruby eyes. This particular bit was commissioned by a customer for a half draft horse but may be custom ordered with your desired mouthpiece shown below. Price is $1495 and may be ordered right here on the website. Once you have placed your order, please email me with your mouthpiece width if you would like a width that is not shown on the website; my email is bianca@theoldspanishtrading.com

Please allow 12-14 weeks for delivery as each bit is made to order.
