I'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE RECENTLY, CROSSING THRU THREE STATES ON A MAJOR BUYING SPREE, HAVING COME BACK WITH ALL KINDS OF FANTASTIC VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE ITEMS.  THESE INCLUDE (BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO):  SOLID GOLD JEWELRY; GOLD FILLED JEWELRY AND OTHER VICTORIAN AND ART DECO GOLD FILLED ITEMS; STERLING SILVER JEWELRY (& MORE); LOTS OF ANTIQUE "SMALLS" (THINGS THAT FIT IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND); AND MORE(!), SO PLEASE CHECK THEM ALL OUT AS I LIST THEM THIS WEEK.
FOR MORE WESTERN STYLE JEWELRY, PLEASE CLICK ON MY STORE CATEGORY THAT'S COMPLETELY DEVOTED TO JUST THESE ITEMS (
Jewelry - Western & Bolo Ties
); AND FOR MORE WESTERN COLLECTIBLES (
Antique/Vintage Western
).
HERE IS A VERY COOL HANDCRAFTED WESTERN AMERICANA TIE TACK, WHICH IS MADE OF SOLID STERLING SILVER, WHICH ALSO HAS A SOLID 14K YELLOW GOLD POST.  I ACQUIRED A PAIR OF THESE A WHILE BACK AND BOTH WERE MADE BY THE SAME FELLA AND THE SAME WAY.
THE BOOT MEASURES APPROX. 15/16" TALL x 13/16" WIDE (BOTH MAX POINTS).  THE BOOT IS NOT MARKED OR SIGNED, BUT HAS BEEN VERY CAREFULLY ACID TESTED AND IS GUARANTEED TO BE SOLID STERLING SILVER.  THE POST IS STAMPED "14K" AND IT WAS PROFESSIONALLY SOLDERED ONTO THE BOOT.
ALL IN ALL, THE TACK SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE WEIGHT OF THE TIE TACK (ONLY, NOT INCLUDING THE PINCHBACK) IS 2.85
GRAMS.
PLEASE NOTE:  I AM NOT A JEWELER, OR ANY OTHER TYPE OF GEM EXPERT, SO I CAN'T (AND DON'T TRY TO) ACCURATELY GRADE GEMS, OR TRY TO PERFECTLY SIZE THEM.  I WILL GIVE MY BEST EFFORT TO GIVE YOU MY "BEST GUESS" ON THESE TYPES OF THINGS, GIVEN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GUARANTEES, AT ALL.  BUT, IF THERE ARE GEMSTONES IN THIS PARTICULAR LISTING, THEY HAVE BEEN ELECTRONICALLY TESTED, AND ARE GUARANTEED TO BE AS LISTED.  ALSO, I AM WEARING MY OWN WEDDING RING IN THESE PHOTOS, SO IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING A RING (OR RINGS) IN THIS LISTING, IT WILL BE FOR THE OTHER RING(S) SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS.  THANKS!
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
.25 INSURED
USPS FIRST CLASS, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
