Lovebird Bit

from $525.00

Pretty silver hummingbirds kissing on a classic California bit. This design is based on the style of bits that came from San Jose, California during the late 1800s to early 1900s from makers such as Atanasio Larios, L.D. Stone, F.M. Stern, Hernandez brothers, and Jesus Echavarría. With intricately chased iron and kissing birds, just like the old ones. This custom bit is headed off to a special customer that gave me free rein to incorporate their favorite bird the hummingbird into a new bit. This design is now available to order via my website. Pm me with any questions or ordering info! An Old Spanish Trading Company original design. Shown in the rust brown finish with a spoon spade mouthpiece.
