DON ELLIS Sterling 14K SPECIAL PRESENTATION RODEO Trophy Buckle STEER RIDER

Description

Hello and WELCOME BACK to all of my loyal customers over the years. I have recently returned to Ebay after two years abroad, and I am happy to once again offer some of the FINEST and RAREST vintage collectible Western Trophy Buckles and Ranger Sets in the United States. Most ALL of my items are ORIGINAL, not modern reproductions of the originals. These are the REAL McCOYS!!!
Made by one of the FINEST of ALL Buckle Makers and Engravers....DON ELLIS of Seattle, Washington, offered here is a VERY RARE and HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE Sterling and 14K RODEO TROPHY BUCKLE made to accommodate a 1 1/2 inch belt in THREE COLORS of GOLD (STEER RIDER in YELLOW GOLD; Scrolls and Leaves in ROSE GOLD; FLOWERS in GREEN GOLD.) On the back of the buckle is engraved the dedication, "IN APPRECIATION FROM CHRISTENSEN BROS." Christensen Bros. were among the most famous RODEO PRODUCERS of that era. A TRUE MASTERPIECE!!!
In my opinion, DON ELLIS was the finest engraver of his time....as evidenced by his handiwork. These items were highly coveted...as they remain today.
DON ELLIS died in 1969. The buckle is marked "DON ELLIS CO. SEATTLE STERLING," and measures approximately 3 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches.
