Cowboy Spur Makers – The BIG 3

When you talk about Cowboy Spurs and the makers of western bits, buckles, spurs and tack there are 3 famous makers, refered to as “The BIG 3″ that are most common.  Collectors of western memorabillia know these makers as a testament of quality, originality and genuine American history.

  • North and Judd
  • Renalde
  • Crockett

The 3 companies all have simple, small groundings in the manufacturing of spurs and eventually all became one company under the brand of Crockett Renalde before the company finally closed.

There has never been a better trio of hand craftsmen than the skill and experience behind people such as Jim Renalde

    I have a pair of spurs with a mark I cannot find they are silver or plated silver with the initial CR with a horshoe around the CR. They have leather straps and are in pretty good shape. Any info is appreciated.

    The CR stands for Crockett Renalde.
    See the links above in the top right for Crockett and Renalde spurs and information.

  3. I have a pair of spurs marked Crockett Adamson. I’ve seen spurs marked Crockett but never before with the word Adamson? Do you know anything about this? Thank you.

    Robert,
    ADAMSON refers to a contemporary maker of spurs – eg: modern day.
    Perhaps they are copies?
