Mixed metal commemorative fob featuring sterling silver top clip and brass Western saddle motif with detailed floral engraving.
This distinctive fob combines a sterling silver belt clip with an intricately crafted brass Western saddle pendant. The elongated octagonal silver clip displays refined engine-turned decoration with scalloped borders and bears a cursive monogram in the central shield. The brass saddle element showcases remarkable detail with floral engraving, tiny stirrups, and decorative cantle typical of Western parade saddles from the mid-20th century.
The reverse of the saddle is stamped "PRIOR RODEO GOODS DENVER," identifying it as a product of this notable Denver, Colorado western outfitter. The mixed-metal construction demonstrates the specialized craftsmanship of western memorabilia from this period, likely commemorating a rodeo event or given as a premium gift from the outfitter.
Condition Notes: Some oxidation and tarnish visible on both the silver and brass components, consistent with age. The brass retains traces of its original gold wash finish in recessed areas. Silver clip shows light wear with minor scratches. Attachment mechanism remains functional with original hinge intact. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
