Set Of 4 Similar Vintage Brass Oxen Cattle Cow Horn Caps Knobs - Parades Farms
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:16988964 | Material: Brass |
This is a set of four antique or vintage brass oxen, steer/cattle horn caps/knobs.
I am uncertain as to how old they are, but they definitely have very good age.
It looks like there are two pair here, each a little different in size. One pair measures 6 1/2 inches long (16.5 cm) and the other pair should both measure 7 inches long, except that one of them is bent out at the top making it 7 1/4 inches long (17.8 cm, 18.4 cm).
I initially thought these were table feet, but a hel...pful Ebayer pointed out to me what they actually are.
They go on the tip of a cow‘s horns to protect the cattle handler and the other cattle from the tips of the horns. They’re also used for decoration when oxen are in a show ring or parade.
One of the large ones looks like it was nickel plated. Please use your judgment.
They each have scattered dings and dents to them, along with quite a bit of tarnishing.
Together they weigh 2 pounds 4 1/2 ounces (1.038 kg).
